Feature Selection (FS) methods based on fuzzy-rough set theory (FRFS) have employed the dependency function to guide the FS process with much success. More recently a method has been developed which uses fuzzy-entropy [9] to perform this task. Such use of fuzzy-entropy as an evaluation measure in fuzzy-rough feature selection can result in smaller subset sizes than those obtained through FRFS a...

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...

Recently, the rough set and fuzzy set theory have generated a great deal of interest among more and more researchers. Granular computing (GrC) is an emerging computing paradigm of information processing and an approach for knowledge representation and data mining. The purpose of granular computing is to seek for an approximation scheme which can effectively solve a complex problem at a certain ...

Based on analysis of Pawlak’s rough set model in the view of single equivalence relation and the theory of fuzzy set, associated with multi-granulation rough set models proposed by Qian, two types of new rough set models are constructed, which are multi-granulation fuzzy rough sets. It follows the research on the properties of the lower and upper approximations of the new multi-granulation fuzz...

The paper presents a new approach to fuzzy classification in the case of missing data. Rough-fuzzy sets are incorporated into logical type neuro-fuzzy structures and a rough-neuro-fuzzy classifier is derived. Theorems which allow determining the structure of the rough-neuro-fuzzy classifier are given. Several experiments illustrating the performance of the roughneuro-fuzzy classifier working in...

In this paper we introduce the notion of fuzzy interior ideals in ternary semigroups and investigated relations between fuzzy ideals and fuzzy interior ideals in terms of regularity. Here a characterization of fuzzy interior ideals is obtained in terms of fuzzy translation operator. The notions of rough and rough fuzzy interior ideals in a ternary semigroup are introduced. Relation between cong...

The information systems with incomplete attribute values and fuzzy decisions commonly exist in practical problems. On the base of the notion of variable precision rough set model for incomplete information system and the rough set model for incomplete and fuzzy decision information system, the variable rough set model for incomplete and fuzzy decision information system is constructed, which is...

The roughness of a rough set arises from the existence of its boundary region. In such a boundary region, each object has a non-zero rough membership degree. When an object’s rough membership degree is regarded as its fuzzy membership degree, a rough set can induce a fuzzy set. This relationship motivates us to assert that there may exist some inherent relations between the roughness of a rough...
