Complex Decision Modeling Framework with Fairly Operators and Quaternion Numbers under Intuitionistic Fuzzy Rough Context

The main goal of informal computing is to overcome the limitations of hypersensitivity to defects and uncertainty while maintaining a balance between high accuracy,accessibility,and cost-effectiveness.This paper investigates the potential applications of intuitionistic fuzzy sets(IFS)with rough sets in the context of sparse data.When it comes to capture uncertain information emanating fromboth upper and lower approximations,these intuitionistic fuzzy rough numbers(IFRNs)are superior to intuitionistic fuzzy sets and pythagorean fuzzy sets,respectively.We use rough sets in conjunction with IFSs to develop several fairly aggregation operators and analyze their underlying properties.We present numerous impartial laws that incorporate the idea of proportionate dispersion in order to ensure that the membership and non-membership activities of IFRNs are treated equally within these principles.These operations lead to the development of the intuitionistic fuzzy rough weighted fairly aggregation operator(IFRWFA)and intuitionistic fuzzy rough ordered weighted fairly aggregation operator(IFRFOWA).These operators successfully adjust to membership and non-membership categories with fairness and subtlety.We highlight the unique qualities of these suggested aggregation operators and investigate their use in the multiattribute decision-making field.We use the intuitionistic fuzzy rough environment’s architecture to create a novel strategy in situation involving several decision-makers and non-weighted data.Additionally,we developed a novel technique by combining the IFSs with quaternion numbers.We establish a unique connection between alternatives and qualities by using intuitionistic fuzzy quaternion numbers(IFQNs).With the help of this framework,we can simulate uncertainty in real-world situations and address a number of decision-making problems.Using the examples we have released,we offer a sophisticated and systematically constructed illustrative scenario that is intricately woven with the complexity ofmedical evaluation in order to thoroughly assess the relevance and efficacy of the suggested methodology.

Pseudo-Semi-Overlap Functions-Based Fuzzy Rough Sets Applied to Image Edge Extraction

As an extension of overlap functions, pseudo-semi-overlap functions are a crucial class of aggregation functions. Therefore, (I, PSO)-fuzzy rough sets are introduced, utilizing pseudo-semi-overlap functions, and further extended for applications in image edge extraction. Firstly, a new clustering function, the pseudo-semi-overlap function, is introduced by eliminating the symmetry and right continuity present in the overlap function. The relaxed nature of this function enhances its applicability in image edge extraction. Secondly, the definitions of (I, PSO)-fuzzy rough sets are provided, using (I, PSO)-fuzzy rough sets, a pair of new fuzzy mathematical morphological operators (IPSOFMM operators) is proposed. Finally, by combining the fuzzy C-means algorithm and IPSOFMM operators, a novel image edge extraction algorithm (FCM-IPSO algorithm) is proposed and implemented. Compared to existing algorithms, the FCM-IPSO algorithm exhibits more image edges and a 73.81% decrease in the noise introduction rate. The outstanding performance of (I, PSO)-fuzzy rough sets in image edge extraction demonstrates their practical application value.

Two-Layer Information Granulation:Mapping-Equivalence Neighborhood Rough Set and Its Attribute Reduction

Attribute reduction,as one of the essential applications of the rough set,has attracted extensive attention from scholars.Information granulation is a key step of attribute reduction,and its efficiency has a significant impact on the overall efficiency of attribute reduction.The information granulation of the existing neighborhood rough set models is usually a single layer,and the construction of each information granule needs to search all the samples in the universe,which is inefficient.To fill such gap,a new neighborhood rough set model is proposed,which aims to improve the efficiency of attribute reduction by means of two-layer information granulation.The first layer of information granulation constructs a mapping-equivalence relation that divides the universe into multiple mutually independent mapping-equivalence classes.The second layer of information granulation views each mapping-equivalence class as a sub-universe and then performs neighborhood informa-tion granulation.A model named mapping-equivalence neighborhood rough set model is derived from the strategy of two-layer information granulation.Experimental results show that compared with other neighborhood rough set models,this model can effectively improve the efficiency of attribute reduction and reduce the uncertainty of the system.The strategy provides a new thinking for the exploration of neighborhood rough set models and the study of attribute reduction acceleration problems.

A Rough Set and GIS Based Approach for Selecting Suitable Shelters during an Evacuation Process

Humanity suffers an ever-present threat of crises. In the event of a crisis, the population in affected areas will be in danger and will need to be evacuated to a safer in order to protect their lives. One of the difficulties in emergency management is quickly and accurately selecting suitably safe areas of refuge. This paper aims to explain an evacuation shelter selection process that uses rough set theory and a geographical information system (GIS). The proposed approach uses rough set theory concepts to classify shelters and selects suitable shelters on the basis of three factors: distance, capacity, and the availability of life requirements. The preparation of data and reporting of results are performed via the GIS environment. The proposed approach was implemented using Masoura,Egypt, as a case study and the re- sults of this implementation are presented.

A game-theoretic perspective on rough set analysis

Determining the correct threshold values for the probabilistic rough set approaches has been a heated issue among the community.Existing techniques offer no way in guaranteeing that the calculated values optimize the classification ability of the decision rules derived from this configuration.This article will formulate a game theoretic approach to calculating these thresholds to ensure correct approximation region size.Using payoff tables created from approximation measures and modified conditional risk strategies,we provide the user with tolerance levels for their loss functions.Using the tolerance values,new thresholds are calculated to provide correct classification regions.This will aid in determining a set of optimal region threshold values for decision making.

A Neighborhood Rough Set Attribute Reduction Method Based on Attribute Importance

Attribute reduction is a hot topic in rough set research. As an extension of rough sets, neighborhood rough sets can effectively solve the problem of information loss after data discretization. However, traditional greedy-based neighborhood rough set attribute reduction algorithms have a high computational complexity and long processing time. In this paper, a novel attribute reduction algorithm based on attribute importance is proposed. By using conditional information, the attribute reduction problem in neighborhood rough sets is discussed, and the importance of attributes is measured by conditional information gain. The algorithm iteratively removes the attribute with the lowest importance, thus achieving the goal of attribute reduction. Six groups of UCI datasets are selected, and the proposed algorithm SAR is compared with L2-ELM, LapTELM, CTSVM, and TBSVM classifiers. The results demonstrate that SAR can effectively improve the time consumption and accuracy issues in attribute reduction.

2-Tuple and Rough Set Based Reduction Model for Multi-sensory Evaluation Indicators

In order to lessen adverse influences of excessive evaluative indicators of the initial set in multi-sensory evaluation,a2-tuple and rough set based reduction model is built to simplify the initial set of evaluative indicators. In the model,a great variety of descriptive forms of the multi-sensory evaluation are also taken into consideration. As a result,the method proves effective in reducing redundant indexes and minimizing index overlaps without compromising the integrity of the evaluation system. By applying the model in a multi-sensory evaluation involving community public information service facilities,the research shows that the results are satisfactory when using genetic algorithm optimized BP neural network as a calculation tool. It shows that using the reduced and simplified set of indicators has a better predication performance than the initial set,and 2-tuple and rough set based model offers an efficient way to reduce indicator redundancy and improves prediction capability of the evaluation model.

Rock burst laws in deep mines based on combined model of membership function and dominance-based rough set

Rock bursts are spontaneous, violent fracture of rock that can occur in deep mines, and the likelihood of rock bursts occurring increases as depth of the mine increases. Rock bursts are also affected by the compressive strength, tensile strength, tangential strength, elastic energy index, etc. of rock, and the relationship between these factors and rock bursts in deep mines is difficult to analyze from quantitative point. Typical rock burst instances as a sample set were collected, and membership function was introduced to process the discrete values of these factors with the discrete factors as condition attributes and rock burst situations as decision attributes. Dominance-based rough set theory was used to generate preference rules of rock burst, and eventually rock burst laws analysis in deep mines with preference relation was taken. The results show that this model for rock burst laws analysis in deep mines is more reasonable and feasible, and the prediction results are more scientific.
