Multi-attribute predictive analysis based on attribute-oriented fuzzy rough sets in fuzzy information systems

Multi-attribute decision making (MADM) plays an important role in decision analysis. Based on a new fuzzy rough set theory (FRS), this paper presents a multi-attribute prediction analysis model in fuzzy information systems (FISs). In this prediction model, the proposed FRS is based on an attribute-oriented fuzzy similarity relation; the cosine deviation of a candidate to optimistic decision and pessimistic decision is proposed to construct a trend function, for further predicting the development trend of the candidate. It deals with MADM problems from the perspective of multi-attribute predictive analysis, and is a valuable continuation of fuzzy decision making research. To evaluate the validity and feasibility of the proposed prediction model, experiments with real data sets and comparative experimental analysis are conducted. The experimental results prove that the prediction performance of the proposed model is well-pleasing in terms of both prediction accuracy and AUC results. (C) 2022 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
