Abstract

Many generalizations of variable precision rough set models(VPRS) have been proposed since Ziarko introduced VPRS. This paper proposes the concept of general VPRS approximations which unifies earlier definitions of variant VPRS and gives an efficient matrix formulae for computing approximations of VPRS. This formulae can simplify the calculation of approximations of VPRS.
