Rough Sets in Economic Applications

Rough Sets in Knowledge Discovery 2

Part of the book series: Studies in Fuzziness and Soft Computing ((STUDFUZZ,volume 19))

Abstract

Making economic decisions is indeed a very interesting and perspective domain for many applications of methods and tools of computer science. However, economic decision problems are difficult to formalize. First of all it results from their complex character and great number of parameters describing their evolution, inexplicitness and incompleteness of available information as well as shortage of explicit criteria explaining economic decisions. Thus in economic decisions we often use intuition and knowledge which is accumulated in the process of creative generalization of practical experiments and observation results or empirical analysis. The same should be obviously considered during development of computer systems which support the process of making economic decisions.
