Abstract
In this paper, to deal with practical situations where a fuzzy classification must be approximated by available knowledge expressed in terms of a Pawlak’s approximation space, we investigate an extension of approximation quality measure to a fuzzy classification aimed at providing a numerical characteristic for such situations. Furthermore, extensions of related coefficients such as the precision measure and the significance measure are also discussed. A simple example is given to illustrate the proposed notions.
