Abstract

Rough set theory has been combined with intuitionistic fuzzy sets in dealing with uncertainty decision making. This paper proposes a general decision-making framework based on the intuitionistic fuzzy rough set model over two universes. We first present the intuitionistic fuzzy rough set model over two universes with a constructive approach and discuss the basic properties of this model. We then give a new approach of decision making in uncertainty environment by using the intuitionistic fuzzy rough sets over two universes. Further, the principal steps of the decision method established in this paper are presented in detail. Finally, an example of handling medical diagnosis problem illustrates this approach.
