The main idea of rough set theory is to extract decision rules by attribute reduction and value reduction in the premises of keeping the ability of classification. This paper presents the design of model for customer division based on rough set, and uses algorithms for attribute reduction and rule extraction in rough set to analyze the customer of supermarket. This paper also introduces how to achieve the minimum result of attribute reduction and decision-making via decision-making report, winkling redundant attribute and over-rule of decision.

The main purpose of this paper is to advocate a rule-based forecasting technique for anticipating stock index volatility. This paper intends to set up a stock index indicators projection prototype by using a multiple criteria decision making model consisting of the cluster analysis (CA) technique and Rough Set Theory (RST) to select the important attributes and forecast TSEC Capitalization Weighted Stock Index. The projection prototype was then released to forecast the stock index in the first half of 2009 with an accuracy of 66.67%. The results point out that the decision rules were authenticated to employ in forecasting the stock index volatility appropriately.

Attribute reduction is one of the most important problems in rough set theory. However, from the granular computing point of view, the classical rough set theory is based on a single granulation. It is necessary to study the issue of attribute reduction based on multigranulations rough set. To acquire brief decision rules from information systems, this paper firstly investigates attribute reductions by combining the multigranulations rough set together with evidence theory. Concepts of belief and plausibility consistent set are proposed, and some important properties are addressed by the view of the optimistic and pessimistic multigranulations rough set. What is more, the multigranulations method of the belief and plausibility reductions is constructed in the paper. It is proved that a set is an optimistic (pessimistic) belief reduction if and only if it is an optimistic (pessimistic) lower approximation reduction, and a set is an optimistic (pessimistic) plausibility reduction if and only if it is an optimistic (pessimistic) upper approximation reduction.

Abstract “Rough set” is a theory put forward by the polish scholar Z. Pawlak, which is a useful mathematics tool for dealing with vague and uncertain information. Rough set theory can achieve a subset of all attribute which preserves the discernible ability of original features, by using the data only with no additional information. As a typical system of multi-agent, the decision-making system of soccer robot has the features of multi-layered, antagonism, and cooperation. On the bases of rough set theory, this paper established a decision making system with complete information for soccer robot, and then reduce the condition and decision attributes and their values, to get the simply decision rules. On the otherwise, considering the situation of information loss, we study decision making of imperfect information system, extract the decision rules and calculate the reliability, so that the rules can assist the agent to make right decision in competition. The simulation result shows that the algorithm is correct and effective.

In rough set theory, rule extraction and rule evaluation are two important issues. In this chapter, the concepts of positive approximation and converse approximation are first introduced, which can be seen as dynamic approximations of target concepts based on a granulation order. Then, two algorithms for rule extraction called MABPA and REBCA are designed and applied to hierarchically generate decision rules from a decision table. Furthermore, to evaluate the whole performance of a decision rule set, three kinds of measures are proposed for evaluating the certainty, consistency and support of a decision-rule set extracted from a decision table, respectively. The experimental analyses on several decision tables show that these three new measures are adequate for evaluating the decision performance of a decision-rule set extracted from a decision table in rough set theory. The measures may be helpful for determining which rule extraction technique should be chosen in a practical decision problem.

Evacuation behavior analysis is deemed to be one aspect of evacuation planning. However, existing studies have not discussed group evacuation decision-making in the face of disagreement among decision makers. In this paper, rough set theory is applied to analyze group evacuation decision-making in passenger transport hub area with various groups including kin, lover, friend, colleague, and classmate. In the approach, improved tabu search-based attribute reduction is proposed to find the minimal subset of attributes required to fully describe the information of group evacuation decision-making, and value reduction algorithm based on knowledge granulation is used to generate rules of group evacuation decision-making. Cross-validation procedure is adopted to estimate the performance of rough set theory. Experimental results indicate that rough set theory has favorable performance. Thus, the proposed approach provides a new way for evacuation behavior analysis.

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.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to present a new method for evaluation of emergency plans for unconventional emergency events by using the soft fuzzy rough set theory and methodology. Design/methodology/approach – In response to the problems of insufficient risk identification, incomplete and inaccurate data and different preference of decision makers, a new model for emergency plan evaluation is established by combining soft set theory with classical fuzzy rough set theory. Moreover, by combining the TOPSIS method with soft fuzzy rough set theory, the score value of the soft fuzzy lower and upper approximation is defined for the optimal object and the worst object. Finally, emergency plans are comprehensively evaluated according to the soft close degree of the soft fuzzy rough set theory. Findings – This paper presents a new perspective on emergency management decision making in unconventional emergency events. Also, the paper provides an effective model for evaluating emergency plans for unconventional events. Originality/value – The paper contributes to decision making in emergency management of unconventional emergency events. The model is useful for dealing with decision making with uncertain information.
