Rough set philosophy is a significant methodology in the knowledge discovery of databases. In the present paper, we suggest new sorts of rough set approximations using a multi-knowledge base; that is, a family of the finite number of general binary relations via different methods. The proposed methods depend basically on a new neighborhood (called basic-neighborhood). Generalized rough approximations (so-called, basic-approximations) represent a generalization to Pawlak’s rough sets and some of their extensions as confirming in the present paper. We prove that the accuracy of the suggested approximations is the best. Many comparisons between these approaches and the previous methods are introduced. The main goal of the suggested techniques was to study the multi-information systems in order to extend the application field of rough set models. Thus, two important real-life applications are discussed to illustrate the importance of these methods. We applied the introduced approximations in a set-valued ordered information system in order to be accurate tools for decision-making. To illustrate our methods, we applied them to find the key foods that are healthy in nutrition modeling, as well as in the medical field to make a good decision regarding the heart attacks problem.

The rough set philosophy is based on the concept that there is some information associated with each object of the universe. The set of all objects of the universe under consideration for particular discussion is considered as a universal set. So, there is a need to classify objects of the universe based on the indiscernibility relation (equivalence relation) among them. In the view of granular computing, rough set model is researched by single granulation. The granulation in general is carried out based on the equivalence relation defined over a universal set. It has been extended to multi-granular rough set model in which the set approximations are defined by using multiple equivalence relations on the universe simultaneously. But, in many real life scenarios, an information system establishes the relation with different universes. This gave the extension of multi-granulation rough set on single universal set to multi-granulation rough set on two universal sets. In this paper, we define multi-granulation rough set for two universal sets U and V. We study the algebraic properties that are interesting in the theory of multi-granular rough sets. This helps in describing and solving real life problems more accurately.

Dominance-based rough sets approach (DRSA) is an effective tool to deal with information with preference-ordered attribute domain. In practice, many information systems may evolve when attribute values are changed. Updating set approximations for these dynamic information systems is a necessary step for further knowledge reduction and decision making in DRSA. The purpose of this paper is to present an incremental approach when the information system alters dynamically with the change of condition attribute values. The updating rules are given with proofs, and the experimental evaluations on UCI data show that the incremental approach outperforms the original non-incremental one.

The fundamental concept of crisp set has been extended in many directions in the recent past. The notion of rough set by Pawlak is noteworthy among them. The rough set philosophy is based on the concept that there is some information associated with each object of the universe. There is a need to classify objects of the universe based on the indiscernibility relation among them. In the view of granular computing, rough set model is researched by single granulation. It has been extended to multigranular rough set model in which the set approximations are defined by using multiple equivalence relations on the universe simultaneously. However, in many real life scenarios, an information system establishes the relation with different universes. This gave the extension of multigranulation rough set on single universal set to multigranulation rough set on two universal sets. This chapter defines multigranulation rough set for two universal sets U and V. In addition, the algebraic properties, measures of uncertainty and topological characterization that are interesting in the theory of multigranular rough sets are studied. This helps in describing and solving real life problems more accurately.

The idea of neighborhood systems is induced from the geometric idea of “near,” and it is primitive in the topological structures. Now, the idea of neighborhood systems has been extensively applied in rough set theory. The master contribution of this manuscript is to generate various topologies by means of the concepts of j -adhesion neighborhoods and ideals. Then, we define a new rough set model derived from these topologies and discussed main features. We show that these topologies are finer than those given in the previous ones under arbitrary binary relations. In addition, we elucidate that these topologies are finer than those topologies initiated based on different neighborhoods and ideals under reflexive relations. Several examples are provided to validate that our model is better than the previous ones.

The rough set principle was proposed as a methodology to cope with vagueness or uncertainty of data in the information systems. Day by day, this theory has proven its efficiency in handling and modeling many real-life problems. To contribute to this area, we present new topological approaches as a generalization of Pawlak’s theory by using j-adhesion neighborhoods and elucidate the relationship between them and some other types of approximations with the aid of examples. Topologically, we give another generalized rough approximation using near open sets. Also, we generate generalized approximations created from the topological models of j-adhesion approximations. Eventually, we compare the approaches given herein with previous ones to obtain a more affirmative solution for decision-making problems.

Intuitionistic fuzzy rough sets are constructed by combining intuitionistic fuzzy sets with rough sets. Recently, Huang et al. proposed the definition of an intuitionistic fuzzy (IF) β -covering and an IF covering rough set model. In this paper, some properties of IF β -covering approximation spaces and the IF covering rough set model are investigated further. Moreover, we present a novel methodology to the problem of multiple criteria group decision making. Firstly, some new notions and properties of IF β -covering approximation spaces are proposed. Secondly, we study the characterizations of Huang et al.’s IF covering rough set model and present a new IF covering rough set model for crisp sets in an IF environment. The relationships between these two IF covering rough set models and some other rough set models are investigated. Finally, based on the IF covering rough set model, Huang et al. also defined an optimistic multi-granulation IF rough set model. We present a novel method to multiple criteria group decision making problems under the optimistic multi-granulation IF rough set model.

Rough set theory is a powerful tool for dealing with uncertainty, granularity, and incompleteness of knowledge in information systems. This paper discusses five types of existing neighborhood-based generalized rough sets. The concepts of minimal neighborhood description and maximal neighborhood description of an element are defined, and by means of the two concepts, the properties and structures of the third and the fourth types of neighborhood-based rough sets are deeply explored. Furthermore, we systematically study the covering reduction of the third and the fourth types of neighborhood-based rough sets in terms of the two concepts. Finally, two open problems proposed by Yun et al. (2011) are solved.

In multiattribute decision making, it is critical to indentify the importance degree of attributes before the overall assessment of the alternatives. In this paper, we give a measurement of importance degree of attributes based on knowledge discovery in the decision information system, which satisfies the conditions of fuzzy measure. Further, we construct an evaluation model combined Choquet integral with the importance degree measure. The case study illustrates the validity and the effectiveness of the method.

Fuzzy sets, rough sets, and later on IF sets became useful mathematical tools for solving various decision making problems and data mining problems. Molodtsov introduced another concept soft set theory as a general frame work for reasoning about vague concepts. Since most of the data collected are either linguistic variable or consist of vague concepts so IF set and soft set help a lot in data mining problem. The aim of this paper is to introduce the concept of IF soft lower rough approximation and IF upper rough set approximation. Also, some properties of this set are studied, and also some problems of decision making are cited where this concept may help. Further research will be needed to apply this concept fully in the decision making and data mining problems.
