Abstract

In this paper, we discuss two extensions of rough sets and the rule extraction based on the rough sets. We introduce two interpretations of rough sets, i.e., rough sets for distinction and rough sets for approximation. Based on those different interpretations, we generalize rough sets in two different ways. The if-then rules extracted based on each generalized rough set are discussed. Based on a decision matrix, a method to extract all minimal rules from a given information table is proposed in each case. The difference of extracted rules between two generalized rough sets and the correspondence between definitions of rough sets and extracted rules are shown. Finally a simple example is given.
