The Rough Set Exploration System

  • Conference paper
Transactions on Rough Sets III

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((TRS,volume 3400))

Abstract

This article gives an overview of the Rough Set Exploration System (RSES). RSES is a freely available software system toolset for data exploration, classification support and knowledge discovery. The main functionalities of this software system are presented along with a brief explanation of the algorithmic methods used by RSES. Many of the RSES methods have originated from rough set theory introduced by Zdzisław Pawlak during the early 1980s.
