Pawlak’s Rough set theory was originally proposed as a general mathematical tool for dealing with uncertainty in modeling imperfect knowledge. The purpose of this paper is to introduce the concept of multifuzzy rough sets by combining the multi-fuzzy set and rough set models. Some operations such as Complement, Union, Intersection etc. are defined for multi-fuzzy rough sets and De Morgan’s laws...

The rough-set theory proposed by Pawlak, has been widely used in dealing with data classification problems. The original rough-set model is, however, quite sensitive to noisy data. Tzung thus proposed deals with the problem of producing a set of fuzzy certain and fuzzy possible rules from quantitative data with a predefined tolerance degree of uncertainty and misclassification. This model allow...

The optimistic multigranulation T-fuzzy rough set model was established based on multiple granulations under T-fuzzy approximation space by Xu et al., 2012. From the reference, a natural idea is to consider pessimistic multigranulation model in T-fuzzy approximation space. So, in this paper, the main objective is to make further studies according to Xu et al., 2012. The optimistic multigranulat...

The fuzzy rough set is a fuzzy generalization of the classical rough set. In the traditional fuzzy rough model, the set to be approximated is a fuzzy set. This paper deals with an incomplete fuzzy information system with interval-valued decision by means of generalizing the rough approximation of a fuzzy set to the rough approximation of an interval-valued fuzzy set. Since all condition attribu...

The fuzzy measure can highlight important information in analyzing component features, patterns, and trends. However, fuzzy densities and interaction effects are usually unknown or uncertain for implications thus making the fuzzy measure limited in applications. This research proposes an extended fuzzy measure to derive the conditional fuzzy densities from dominance-based rough set approach (DR...

Granular structure plays a very important role in the model construction, theoretical analysis and algorithm design of a granular computing method. The granular structures of classical rough sets and fuzzy rough sets have been proven to be clear. In classical rough set theory, equivalence classes are basic granules, and the lower and upper approximations of a set can be computed by those basic ...

Rough set theory has attracted much attention in modeling with imprecise and incomplete information. A generalized approximation space, called fuzzy probability approximation space has been proposed by introducing probability into fuzzy approximation space. The novel definition combines three types of uncertainty into a model. Information or knowledge is considered as a partition of the univers...

Kernel methods and rough sets are two general pursuits in the domain of machine learning and intelligent systems. Kernel methods map data into a higher dimensional feature space, where the resulting structure of the classification task is linearly separable; while rough sets granulate the universe with the use of relations and employ the induced knowledge granules to approximate arbitrary conce...

Fuzzy Set Theory and Rough Set Theory are the most popular mathematical tools for dealing with uncertainties. During past decades, these set theories are being applied successfully in several areas for solving many complex tasks. This paper is concerned with the application of hybrid Fuzzy-Rough set based approach for feature subset selection. Keywords— Fuzzy set theory, Rough Set theory, Fuzzy...

This paper investigates roughness of fuzzy soft sets. A pair of fuzzy soft rough approximations is proposed and their properties are given. Based on fuzzy soft rough approximations, the concept of fuzzy soft rough sets is introduced. New types of fuzzy soft sets such as full, intersection complete and union complete fuzzy soft sets are defined and supported by some illustrative examples. We obt...
