The Application of Rough Sets to Sightseeing Expenditures

چکیده

The existing tourism demand forecasting models in tourism are unable to capture useful information from a database with numeric and nonnumeric data. This article presents a new approach that applies the rough set theory to form a forecasting model for sightseeing expenditures in Hong Kong. The rough set theory deals with the classificatory analysis of imprecise, uncertain, or incomplete knowledge (data) by incorporating the classical set theory. Based on officially published tourist sightseeing data, decision rules are generated to represent the relationships between the independent variables and the dependent variable. Experimental results revealed that the forecasting model can classify 94.1% of the testing cases, and that 87.5% of the classified cases were identical to their actual counterparts. There was no significant difference between the actual values and the forecast values. The advantages of using decision rules induced by rough set to forecast sightseeing expenditure were also offered.

On $L$-double fuzzy rough sets

ur aim of this  paper  is  to introduce the concept of $L$-double fuzzy rough sets in whichboth constructive and axiomatic approaches are used. In constructive approach, a pairof $L$-double fuzzy lower (resp. upper) approximation operators is defined  and the basic properties of them  are studied.From the viewpoint of the axiomatic approach, a set of axioms is constructed to characterize the $L...

A hybrid filter-based feature selection method via hesitant fuzzy and rough sets concepts

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...

L-valued Fuzzy Rough Sets

In this paper, we take a GL-quantale as the truth value table to study a new rough set model—L-valued fuzzy rough sets. The three key components of this model are: an L-fuzzy set A as the universal set, an L-valued relation of A and an L-fuzzy set of A (a fuzzy subset of fuzzy sets). Then L-valued fuzzy rough sets are completely characterized via both constructive and axiomatic approaches.

Multi-granulation fuzzy probabilistic rough sets and their corresponding three-way decisions over two universes

This article introduces a general framework of multi-granulation fuzzy probabilistic roughsets (MG-FPRSs) models in multi-granulation fuzzy probabilistic approximation space over twouniverses. Four types of MG-FPRSs are established, by the four different conditional probabilitiesof fuzzy event. For different constraints on parameters, we obtain four kinds of each type MG-FPRSs...
