Sequential three-way decisions with probabilistic rough sets

When approximating a concept, probabilistic rough set models use probabilistic positive, boundary and negative regions. Rules obtained from the three regions are recently interpreted as making three-way decisions, consisting of acceptance, deferment, and rejection. A particular decision is made by minimizing the cost of correct and incorrect classifications. This framework is further extended into sequential three-way decision-making, in which the cost of obtaining required evidence or information is also considered.
