Since the appearance of the first paper on fuzzy sets proposed by Zadeh in 1965, the relationship between probability and fuzziness in the representation of uncertainty has been discussed among many people. The question is whether probability theory itself is sufficient to deal with uncertainty. In this paper the relationship between probability and fuzziness is analyzed by the process of perce...

The so-called measure of approximation quality plays an important role in many applications of rough set based data analysis. In this chapter, we provide an overview on various extensions of approximation quality based on rough-fuzzy and fuzzy-rough sets, along with highlighting their potential applications as well as future directions for research in the topic.

As medical images contain uncertainties, there are difficulties in classification of images into homogeneous regions. Fuzzy sets, rough sets and the combination of fuzzy and rough sets plays a prominent role in formalizing uncertainty, vagueness, and incompleteness in diagnosis. Development of hybrid approaches for the segmentation of the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with the ability of com...

In this paper, we discuss some basic properties of rough intuitionistic fuzzy set in semigroup. Intuitionistic fuzzy analogues of some results concerning rough semiprime (semiprimary) ideals in semigroup are obtained. 2010 AMS Classification: 03E72, 03F55, 06B10.

he theory of fuzzy sets was ntroduced by Zadeh [22] in 1965 as an attempt to study the vagueness and uncertainity in real world problems. A.Rosenfeld [16] applied the notion of fuzzy sets and introduced the notion of fuzzy subgroups in groups. Since then various classical algebraic systems have been fuzzified. The theory of rough sets introduced by Z.Pawlak [14] in 1982 is another independent m...

In this paper we define rough intuitionistic fuzzy sets (analogous to the definition of rough fuzzy sets introduced by Dubois and Prade [8] ) and study their properties. Some propositions in this notion are proved.

Rough set theory is one of important tools of soft computing, and rough approximations are the essential elements in rough set models. However, the existing fuzzy rough set model for set-valued data, which is directly constructed based on a kind of similarity relation, fail to explicitly define fuzzy rough approximations. To solve this issue, in this paper, we propose two types of fuzzy rough a...

Attribute selection is one of the important problems encountered in pattern recognition, machine learning, data mining, and bioinformatics. It refers to the problem of selecting those input attributes or features that are most effective to predict the sample categories. In this regard, rough set theory has been shown to be successful for selecting relevant and nonredundant attributes from a giv...

In this paper, a different approach to extract the threshold value β of Variable Precision Rough Set (VPRS) applied to continuous information systems is presented. This study combines the Fuzzy Set and Rough Fuzzy Set (RFS) theories to determine the β value of VPRS. The β value was determined by the Fuzzy C-means and relevant Fuzzy theories, for the reason that errors of system classification c...
