A comparative study of fuzzy sets and rough sets

YY Yao - Information sciences, 1998 - Elsevier
This paper reviews and compares theories of fuzzy sets and rough sets. Two approaches for
the formulation of fuzzy sets are reviewed, one is based on many-valued logic and the other …

A review of rough set models

TY Lin, N Cercone, YY Yao, SKM Wong… - Rough Sets and Data …, 1997 - Springer
Since introduction of the theory of rough set in early eighties, considerable work has been
done on the development and application of this new theory. The paper provides a review of …

Soft sets and soft groups

H Aktaş, N Çağman - Information sciences, 2007 - Elsevier
Molodtsov introduced the concept of soft set theory, which can be used as a generic
mathematical tool for dealing with uncertainty. In this paper we introduce the basic …

Two views of the theory of rough sets in finite universes

YY Yao - International journal of approximate reasoning, 1996 - Elsevier
This paper presents and compares two views of the theory of rough sets. The operator-
oriented view interprets rough set theory as an extension of set theory with two additional …

On the generalization of fuzzy rough sets

DS Yeung, D Chen, ECC Tsang… - … on fuzzy systems, 2005 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Rough sets and fuzzy sets have been proved to be powerful mathematical tools to deal with
uncertainty, it soon raises a natural question of whether it is possible to connect rough sets …

[PDF][PDF] Generalized rough set models

YY Yao - Rough sets in knowledge discovery, 1998 - researchgate.net
Since Pawlak [43] proposed the rough set theory in early eighties, many proposals have
been made for generalizing and interpreting rough sets [3, 4, 19, 27, 37, 38, 39, 46, 47, 51 …

Fuzzy sets: history and basic notions

D Dubois, W Ostasiewicz, H Prade - Fundamentals of fuzzy sets, 2000 - Springer
This paper is an introduction to fuzzy set theory. It has several purposes. First, it tries to
explain the emergence of fuzzy sets from an historical perspective. Looking back to the …

Combination of rough and fuzzy sets based on α-level sets

TY Lin, N Cercone, YY Yao - Rough Sets and Data Mining: Analysis of …, 1997 - Springer
A fuzzy set can be represented by a family of crisp sets using its α-level sets, whereas a
rough set can be represented by three crisp sets. Based on such representations, this paper …

Rough set theory for the interval-valued fuzzy information systems

Z Gong, B Sun, D Chen - Information Sciences, 2008 - Elsevier
The notion of a rough set was originally proposed by Pawlak [Z. Pawlak, Rough sets,
International Journal of Computer and Information Sciences 11 (5)(1982) 341–356]. Later …

[HTML][HTML] Fuzzy rough set model on two different universes and its application

B Sun, W Ma - Applied Mathematical Modelling, 2011 - Elsevier
The concept of the rough set was originally proposed by Pawlak as a formal tool for
modeling and processing incomplete information in information systems. Then in 1990 …
