One of the challenges a decision maker faces in using rough sets is to choose a suitable rough set model for data analysis. We investigate how two rough set models, the Pawlak model and the probabilistic model, influence the decision goals of a user. Two approaches use probabilities to define regions in the probabilistic model. These approaches use either user-defined parameters or derive the probability thresholds from the cost associated with making a classification. By determining the implications of the results obtained from these models and approaches, we observe that the availability of information regarding the analysis data is crucial for selecting a suitable rough set approach. We present a list of decision types corresponding to the available information and user needs. These results may help a user match their decision requirements and expectations to the model which fulfills these needs. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
