Applied Intelligence Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

The note concerns two-universe rough sets. First, we discuss the name of two-universe model. Second, we outline two lines of the development of two-universe rough sets and affirm that three-way decision unifies models of two-universe rough sets.

Notes

  1. In [19], it exactly cited [31, 32] and Yao et al., 1995 as the references of two-universe rough sets. Unfortunately, the list of references missed the paper Yao et al., 1995, which obviously was [42]. Besides, [36] said the first study on the rough set model over two universes was done in 1995, but no references were presented. I think that it means [32], or [42], or both of them.
