The whole mathematical scenario has changed with the advent of the Rough Set Theory, a powerful tool to deal with uncertainty and incompleteness of knowledge in information system. With the advancement of research, the Soft Set Theory has emerged as an advanced mathematical tool to deal with data associated with uncertainty. The present chapter endeavors to forge a connection between soft set and rough set and maps a new model rough soft set to address the challenges of vagueness and impreciseness. Although the research contribution of M. Irfan Ali, Dan Meng, et al. and Feng Feng et al. had given distinct definition of rough soft set and soft rough set, the analysis explaining the genesis of these sets is not appropriate. This chapter is a new attempt to construct the relationship between a rough set, soft set, and fuzzy set to form a hybrid soft set giving a concrete comprehensive definition of rough soft set in border perspective.

An information system (IS) is an important mathematical tool for artificial intelligence. A fuzzy probabilistic information system (FPIS), the combination of some fuzzy relations in the same universe which satisfies the probability distribution, can be seen as an IS with fuzzy relations. A FPIS overcomes the shortcoming that rough set theory assumes elements in the universe with equal probability and leads to lose some useful information. This paper integrates the probability distribution into the fuzzy relations in a FPIS and studies its reduction. Firstly, the concept of a FPIS is introduced and its reduction is proposed. Then, the fuzzy relations in a FPIS are divided into three categories (P-necessary, P-relatively necessary and P-unnecessary fuzzy relations) according to their importance. Next, entropy measurement for a FPIS is investigated. Moreover, some reduction algorithms are constructed. Finally, an example is given to verify the effectiveness of these proposed algorithms.

Multigranulation rough set theory is a relatively new mathematical tool for solving complex problems in the multigranulation or distributed circumstances which are characterized by vagueness and uncertainty. In this paper, we first introduce the multigranulation approximation space. According to the idea of fusing uncertain, imprecise information, we then present three uncertainty measures: fusing information entropy, fusing rough entropy, and fusing knowledge granulation in the multigranulation approximation space. Furthermore, several essential properties (equivalence, maximum, minimum) are examined and the relationship between the fusion information entropy and the fusion rough entropy is also established. Finally, we prove these three measures are monotonously increasing as the partitions become finer. These results will be helpful for understanding the essence of uncertainty measures in multigranulation rough space and enriching multigranulation rough set theory.

In 1999 Molodtsov introduced the concept of soft set theory as a general mathematical tool for dealing with uncertainty. Alkhazaleh et al. in 2011 introduced the definition of a soft multiset as a generalization of Molodtsov's soft set. In this paper we give the definition of fuzzy soft multiset as a combination of soft multiset and fuzzy set and study its properties and operations. We give examples for these concepts. Basic properties of the operations are also given. An application of this theory in decision-making problems is shown.

Abstract On the basis of rough set theory, the strengths of dynamic reduction are elaborated compared with traditional non-dynamic methods. A systematic concept of dynamic reduction from sampling process to the generation of the reduct set is presented. A new method of sampling is created to avoid the defects of being too subjective. And in order to deal with the over-sized time consuming problem in traditional dynamic reduction process, a quick algorithm is proposed within the constraint conditions. We have also proved that dynamic core possesses the essential characteristics of a reduction core on the basis of the formalized definition of the multi-layered dynamic core.

This paper presents an alternative way for constructing a topological space in an information system. Rough set theory for reasoning about data in information systems is used to construct the topology. Using the concept of an indiscernibility relation in rough set theory, it is shown that the topology constructed is a quasi-discrete topology. Furthermore, the dependency of attributes is applied for defining finer topology and further characterizing the roughness property of a set. Meanwhile, the notions of base and sub-base of the topology are applied to find attributes reduction and degree of rough membership, respectively.

E-bussiness has grown rapidly in the last decade and massive amount of data on customer purchases, browsing pattern and preferences has been generated. Classification of electronic data plays a pivotal role to mine the valuable information and thus has become one of the most important applications of E-bussiness. Support Vector Machines are popular and powerful machine learning techniques, and they offer state-of-the-art performance. Rough set theory is a formal mathematical tool to deal with incomplete or imprecise information and one of its important applications is feature selection. In this paper, rough set theory and support vector machines are combined to construct a classification model to classify the data of E-bussiness effectively.

Rough set theory is emerging as a powerful tool for reasoning about data, knowledge reduction is one of the important topics in the research on rough set theory. It has been proven that finding the minimal reduct of an information system is a NP-hard problem, so is finding the minimal reduct of an incomplete information system. Main reason of causing NP-hard is combination problem of attributes. In this paper, knowledge reduction is defined from the view of information, a heuristic algorithm based on rough entropy for knowledge reduction is proposed in incomplete information systems, the time complexity of this algorithm is O(|A|2|U|). An illustrative example is provided that shows the application potential of the algorithm.

The soft set theory, originally proposed by Molodtsov, can be used as a general mathematical tool for dealing with uncertainty. In this paper, we present concepts of soft rough intuitionistic fuzzy sets and intuitionistic fuzzy soft rough sets, and investigate some properties of soft rough intuitionistic fuzzy sets and intuitionistic fuzzy soft rough sets in detail. Furthermore, classical representations of intuitionistic fuzzy soft rough approximation operators are presented. Finally, we develop an approach to intuitionistic fuzzy soft rough sets based on decision making and a numerical example is provided to illustrate the developed approach.

Modern business judgment is mostly faced with complex, unclear nature, and not fully confirmed research objects and needs a lot of relevant data investigation, inherent contradiction retrieval, and the discovery and extraction of potential laws. Formulation of rules and evaluation of system uncertainty: Appropriate decisions can be made based on this. Rough set theory is a new mathematical tool to deal with uncertain knowledge. Therefore, the theory of rough set is helpful for decision-makers to solve the decision problems of complex systems. The simplification of knowledge of information systems and incomplete information systems and the theoretical and methodological study of rule acquisition are the central issues of rough set theory and applied research. A variety of simplified theories and methods have been proposed from a variety of viewpoints. However, there are still many theoretical problems that need to be investigated and solved in these aspects. In addition, the investment environment is a complex organic system that includes economic environment, social environment, resource environment, infrastructure, and other factors. There are a variety of data to measure these factors, which are mutually restrictive and interdependent. At present, domestic and foreign scholars have basically formed a series of assessment methods and models of investment environment assessment, but most of these assessment methods are affected by the differences in the degree of subjective factors of evaluators and the establishment of index weights in the assessment process. In most cases, more reliance is placed on subjective, artificial assignments and scoring loops. Therefore, it is an appropriate and reasonable method to evaluate the investment environment through data to evaluate all the factors affecting the investment environment and reach a comprehensive evaluation conclusion, which can effectively avoid human subjective factors to a certain extent.
