Rough Set Theory (RST) is relatively new and powerful mathematical tool to deal with imperfect data (i.e. data with uncertainty and vagueness) which is primarily used for classification and decision making problems. On the other hand, Logistic regression (Logit) is mainly used in Social Sciences when dependent variable takes limited and categorical data value ranges. However, both RST and Logit regression are powerful predictable models that are used in wide range of applications such as medicine, military, banking, financial markets etc. RST uses approximations and implications as two formal tools to deal with vagueness whereas Logit regression is severely constrained to deal with vague and imprecise data. Yet, both these methodologies are used to classify the object which is the key issue in decision making. This research paper compares these two tools on a common dataset. SPSS 17.0 software is used to run the Logit regression and Rose 2 software is used for analysis of Rough Set. One of the important finding of this comparison is that attributes in core of the data set under the rough set approach are similar to the most significant predictors of logistic regression model. This indicates that the significant attributes deducted by these two methodologies are similar. It is demonstrated that rough set is much more superior tool to classify the objects as compared to logistic regression. One of the important outcomes of this research is that degree of accuracy is much higher in rough set as compared to logistic regression thereby establishing the supremacy of rough set as a better decision making tool.

PurposeDecision-making is always an issue that managers have to deal with. Keenly observing to different preferences of the targets provides useful information for decision-makers who do not require too much information to make decisions. The main purpose is to avoid decision-makers in a dilemma because of too much or opaque information. Based on problem-oriented, this research aims to help decision-makers to develop a macro-vision strategy that fits the needs of different clusters of customers in terms of their favorite restaurants. This research also focuses on providing the rules to rank data sets for decision-makers to make choices for their favorite restaurant.Design/methodology/approachWhen the decision-makers need to rethink a new strategic planning, they have to think about whether they want to retain or rebuild their relationship with the old consumers or continue to care for new customers. Furthermore, many of the lecturers show that the relative concept will be more effective than the absolute one. Therefore, based on rough set theory, this research proposes an algorithm of related concepts and sends questionnaires to verify the efficiency of the algorithm.FindingsBy feeding the relative order of calculating the ranking rules, we find that it will be more efficient to deal with the faced problems.Originality/valueThe algorithm proposed in this research is applied to the ranking data of food. This research proves that the algorithm is practical and has the potential to reveal important patterns in the data set.

Rough set theory is a relatively new mathematical tool for use in computer applications in circumstances which are characterized by vagueness and uncertainty. In this paper, we introduce the concepts of information entropy, rough entropy and knowledge granulation in rough set theory, and establish the relationships among those concepts. These results will be very helpful for understanding the essence of concept approximation and establishing granular computing in rough set theory.

Abstract With the advancement of new technologies and diverse customer-centered design requirements, the medical device design decision making becomes challenge. Incorporating multiple stakeholders’ requirements into the medical device design will significantly affect the market competitiveness and performance. The classic design decision making approaches mainly focused on design criteria priority determination and conceptual schemes evaluation, which lack the capacity of reflecting the interdependence of interest among stakeholders and capturing the ambiguous influence on the overall design expectations, leading to the unreliable decision making results. In order to relax these constraints in the medical device design, this paper incorporates rough set theory with cooperative game theory model to develop a novel user-centered design decision making framework. The proposed approach is composed of three components: 1) end/professional user needs identification and classification, 2) evaluation criteria correlation diagram and scheme value matrix establishment using rough set theory; and 3) fuzzy coalition utility model development to obtain optimal desirability considering users’ conflict interests. We used a blood pressure meter case study to demonstrate and validate the proposed approach. Compared with the traditional Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) approach, the proposed approach is more robust.

The essence of evaluating employees’ performance in any tertiary institution is to realize the goals of the institution by measuring the contribution of each employee. Effective human resource evaluation is paramount to the development of any organization. An automated method is needed to remove the limitations and facilitate the duties of human resource management. In this paper, rough set theory, a mathematical technique that deals with vagueness and uncertainty of imperfect data analysis is adopted for the evaluation of academic staff profile for promotion, grants and other academic purposes. The entire appraisal process of academic staff was translated into a web-based application where every user can fill, edit, update, and submit the annual performance evaluation report form. The indiscernible property of rough set approach is a unique factor in assessing every academic staff under the department and faculty/school by the head of department and dean respectively. With this, the system generates an information table handling all the necessary conditions for promoting academic staff and the corresponding decisions taken. A model for rating publications was proposed to reduce the sentiments involved in manual rating. Reports were generated as output of each evaluation procedure. One hundred (100) dataset of academic staff of the Federal University of Technology, Akure, Nigeria was used in the experiment to evaluate the performance of the system. The results of the system obtained score were compared with the institution standard and it was found that the system scores were above standard, the average precision of the system shows 60% effectiveness which showed that the proposed system is efficient for academic performance evaluation process.
