Abstract

One of the challenges a decision maker faces is choos- ing a suitable rough set model to use for data analysis. The traditional algebraic rough set model classifies objects into three regions, namely, the positive, negative, and bound- ary regions. Two different probabilistic models, variable- precision and decision-theoretic, modify these regions via l,u user-defined thresholds and , values from loss func- tions respectively. A decision maker whom uses these mod- els must know what type of decisions can be made within these regions. This will allow him or her to conclude which model is best for their decision needs. We present an out- line that can be used to select a model and better analyze the consequences and outcomes of those decisions.
