Rough set decision algorithms for modeling with uncertainty

The use of decision rules allows to extract information and to infer conclusions from relational databases in a reliable way, thanks to some indicators like support and certainty. Moreover, decision algorithms collect a group of decision rules that satisfies desirable properties to describe the relational system. However, when a decision table is considered within a fuzzy environment, it is necessary to extend all notions related to decision algorithms to this framework. This paper presents a generalization of these notions, highlighting the new definitions of indicators of relevance to describe decision rules and decision algorithms.(c) 2023 The Author(s).

Automated summary

The use of decision rules allows for reliable extraction of information and inference of conclusions from relational databases, but the concepts of decision algorithms need to be extended in fuzzy environments.
