The Application of Rough Sets to Sightseeing Expenditures
نویسنده
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.

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...

متن کاملL-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.

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...
