Rough Sets and their Applications

  • Conference paper
Computational Intelligence in Theory and Practice

Part of the book series: Advances in Soft Computing ((AINSC,volume 8))

Abstract

The paper discusses basic concepts of rough set theory. Starting point of the theory are data tables which are used to define rudiments of the theory: approximations, dependency and reduction of attributes, decision rules and others. Various applications of the theory are outlined and future problems pointed out.
