Mathematical models play an important role in the studies of modern economics. But in many fields of economics, it is difficult to build mathematical models for complex phenomena. So data mining is getting more and more popular in discovering the potential pattern of economic knowledge from databases. As a powerful tool for data mining, rough set theory has been widely used. In this research, we draw guidelines from several cases of rough set application in economic practice. Furthermore, to avoid the drawbacks of the existing methods, we develop a methodology for rough analysis in economic sector by combining the advantages of the fuzzy variable precision rough set model.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
