A foundation of rough sets theoretical and computational hybrid intelligent system for survival analysis

چکیده
What do we (not) know about the association between diabetes and survival time? Our studyoffers an alternativemathematical frameworkbasedon rough sets to analyzemedical data and provide epidemiology survival analysis with risk factor diabetes. We experiment on three data sets: geriatric, melanoma and Primary Biliary Cirrhosis. A case study reports from 8547 geriatric Canadian patients at the Dalhousie Medical School. Notification status (dead or alive) is treated as the censor attribute and the time lived is treated as the survival time. The analysis result illustrates diabetes is a very significant risk factor to survival time in our geriatric patients data. This paper offers both theoretical and practical guidelines in the construction of a rough sets hybrid intelligent system, for the analysis of real world data. Furthermore, we discuss the potential of rough sets, artificial neural networks (ANNs) and frailty index in predicting survival tendency. © 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Rough sets theory in site selection decision making for water reservoirs
Rough Sets theory is a mathematical approach for analysis of a vague description of objects presented by a well-known mathematician, Pawlak (1982, 1991). This paper explores the use of Rough Sets theory in site location investigation of buried concrete water reservoirs. Making an appropriate decision in site location can always avoid unnecessary expensive costs which is very important in constr...

High dimensional microarray datasets are difficult to classify since they have many features with small number ofinstances and imbalanced distribution of classes. This paper proposes a filter-based feature selection method to improvethe classification performance of microarray datasets by selecting the significant features. Combining the concepts ofrough sets, weighted rough set, fuzzy rough se...
