Preface

Rough set theory (RST) has become a prominent tool for data science in various domains due to its analysis-friendly nature. From scientific discovery to business intelligence, both practitioners and scientists are using RST in various domains. Feature selection (FS) community is one to name. Various algorithms have been proposed in literature using RST, and a lot of search is still in progress. For any practitioner and research community, this book provides a strong foundation of the concepts of RST and FS. It starts with the introduction of feature selection and rough set theory (along with the working examples) right to the advanced concepts. Sufficient explanation is provided for each concept so that th
