An approach to decision making based on intuitionistic fuzzy rough sets over two universes

Rough set theory has been combined with intuitionistic fuzzy sets in dealing with uncertainty decision making. This paper proposes a general decision-making framework based on the intuitionistic fuzzy rough set model over two universes. We first present the intuitionistic fuzzy rough set model over two universes with a constructive approach and discuss the basic properties of this model. We then give a new approach of decision making in uncertainty environment by using the intuitionistic fuzzy rough sets over two universes. Further, the principal steps of the decision method established in this paper are presented in detail. Finally, an example of handling medical diagnosis problem illustrates this approach.

On (⊥,?)-generalized fuzzy rough sets

In the present paper, we mainly discuss the (??,?)-generalized fuzzy rough sets introduced by B.Q. Hu and Z.H. Huang with both constructive approach and axiomatic approach considered. In the former, we started from the investigation of the properties of the ??-upper and ?-lower approximation operators generated by binary fuzzy relations. In the latter, by defining a pair of fuzzy set-theoretic operators, we show (??,?)-fuzzy rough approximation operators can be characterized by different sets of axioms.     

Axiomatic systems for rough sets and fuzzy rough sets

Rough set theory is an important tool for approximate reasoning about data. Axiomatic systems of rough sets are significant for using rough set theory in logical reasoning systems. In this paper, outer product method are used in rough set study for the first time. By this approach, we propose a unified lower approximation axiomatic system for Pawlak’s rough sets and fuzzy rough sets. As the dual of axiomatic systems for lower approximation, a unified upper approximation axiomatic characterization of rough sets and fuzzy rough sets without any restriction on the cardinality of universe is also given. These rough set axiomatic systems will help to understand the structural feature of various approximate operators.

A rough set approach to intuitionistic fuzzy soft set based decision making

The soft set theory, originally proposed by Molodtsov, can be used as a general mathematical tool for dealing with uncertainty. Since its appearance, there has been some progress concerning practical applications of soft set theory, especially the use of soft sets in decision making. The intuitionistic fuzzy soft set is a combination of an intuitionistic fuzzy set and a soft set. The rough set theory is a powerful tool for dealing with uncertainty, granuality and incompleteness of knowledge in information systems. Using rough set theory, this paper proposes a novel approach to intuitionistic fuzzy soft set based decision making problems. Firstly, by employing an intuitionistic fuzzy relation and a threshold value pair, we define a new rough set model and examine some fundamental properties of this rough set model. Then the concepts of approximate precision and rough degree are given and some basic properties are discussed. Furthermore, we investigate the relationship between intuitionistic fuzzy soft sets and intuitionistic fuzzy relations and present a rough set approach to intuitionistic fuzzy soft set based decision making. Finally, an illustrative example is employed to show the validity of this rough set approach in intuitionistic fuzzy soft set based decision making problems.     

Gaussian kernel based fuzzy rough sets: Model, uncertainty measures and applications

Kernel methods and rough sets are two general pursuits in the domain of machine learning and intelligent systems. Kernel methods map data into a higher dimensional feature space, where the resulting structure of the classification task is linearly separable; while rough sets granulate the universe with the use of relations and employ the induced knowledge granules to approximate arbitrary concepts existing in the problem at hand. Although it seems there is no connection between these two methodologies, both kernel methods and rough sets explicitly or implicitly dwell on relation matrices to represent the structure of sample information. Based on this observation, we combine these methodologies by incorporating Gaussian kernel with fuzzy rough sets and propose a Gaussian kernel approximation based fuzzy rough set model. Fuzzy T-equivalence relations constitute the fundamentals of most fuzzy rough set models. It is proven that fuzzy relations with Gaussian kernel are reflexive, symmetric and transitive. Gaussian kernels are introduced to acquire fuzzy relations between samples described by fuzzy or numeric attributes in order to carry out fuzzy rough data analysis. Moreover, we discuss information entropy to evaluate the kernel matrix and calculate the uncertainty of the approximation. Several functions are constructed for evaluating the significance of features based on kernel approximation and fuzzy entropy. Algorithms for feature ranking and reduction based on the proposed functions are designed. Results of experimental analysis are included to quantify the effectiveness of the proposed methods.

Research on two different mathematical theories on control

With a brand-new theory, this paper not only provides the differences of attributes in concept, formula expression and function type between fuzzy rough sets and probability statistics, but also introduces their differences in algorithms on target control for better solving the control problem. Some new definitions and theorems concerning fuzzy rough sets and probability statistics are given, but this paper mainly makes a comparison of two control algorithms for the target tracking. The simulation results show that the comprehensive performance of the fuzzy rough sets algorithm is better than that of the probability statistics algorithm, but its control effect is not as good as that of the latter on multisensor target control. Finally, some problems concerning the combination of fuzzy rough sets and the probability statistics phenomenon to be solved and development trends are discussed. By these investigations, we can choose the optimal control algorithms for accomplishing better target control.

Robust fuzzy rough classifiers

Fuzzy rough sets, generalized from Pawlak's rough sets, were introduced for dealing with continuous or fuzzy data. This model has been widely discussed and applied these years. It is shown that the model of fuzzy rough sets is sensitive to noisy samples, especially sensitive to mislabeled samples. As data are usually contaminated with noise in practice, a robust model is desirable. We introduce a new model of fuzzy rough set model, called soft fuzzy rough sets, and design a robust classification algorithm based on the model. Experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
