Abstract

Computational models of the artificial intelligence such as rough set theory have several applications. Data clustering under rough set theory can be considered as a technique for medical decision making. One possible application is the clustering of student suffering study's anxiety. In this paper, we present the applicability of variable precision rough set model for clustering student suffering studies anxiety. The proposed technique is based on the mean of accuracy of approximation using variable precision of attributes. The datasets are taken from a survey aimed to identify of studies anxiety sources among students at Universiti Malaysia Pahang (UMP). At this stage of the research, we show how variable precision rough set model can be used to groups student in each study's anxiety. The results may potentially contribute to give a recommendation how to design intervention, to conduct a treatment in order to reduce anxiety and further to improve student's academic performance.
