Abstract
This chapter provides a technical background to rough set analysis, the basic principles of which were outlined in Chapter 7. The technicalities of the method are set out in Section 8.2. This is followed by a reflection on the management of thresholds in Section 8.3. In addition, the chapter evaluates the advantages of rough set analysis in comparison with more traditional ways of dealing with incomplete data sets (Sections 8.4 and 8.5) in order to support the use of this method in several of the case studies set out in later chapters of the book. The advantages of the rough set approach compared with the fuzzy set approach are reviewed in Section 8.4, while Section 8.5 deals with the merits of the rough set approach relative to the traditional method of statistical analysis.
