The sample variation of indices for approximation of sets in the context of rough sets data analysis is considered. We consider the g and a indices and some other ones – lower and upper bound approximation of decision classes. We derive confidence bounds for these indices as well as a two group comparison procedure. Finally we present procedures to compare the approximation quality of two sets ...

Dominance-based rough set introduced by Greco et al. is an extension of Pawlak’s classical rough set theory by using dominance relations in place of equivalence relations for approximating sets of preference ordered decision classes satisfying upward and downward union properties. This paper introduces the concept of indexed blocks for representing dominance-based approximation spaces. Indexed ...

The dominance–based rough set approach plays an important role in the development of the rough set theory. It can be used to express the inconsistencies coming from consideration of the preference–ordered domains of the attributes. The purpose of this paper is to further generalize the dominance–based rough set model to fuzzy environment. The constructive approach is used to define the intuitio...
