Abstract
Soft set theory proposed by Molodstov is a general mathematic tool for dealing with uncertainties. Recently, several algorithms had been proposed for decision making using soft set theory. However, these algorithms still concern on a Boolean-valued information system. In this paper, Support Attribute Representative (SAR), a soft set based technique for decision making in categorical-valued information system is proposed. The proposed technique has been tested on two datasets. The results of this research will provide useful information for decision makers to handle categorical datasets.
