【 摘 要 】

Several tools have been put forth to handle the problem of uncertain knowledge. Pawlak (1982) initiated the concept of rough set theory, which is a completely new tool for solving imprecision and vagueness (uncertainty). The main notions in this theory are the upper and lower approximations. One of the most important aims of this theory is to reduce the vagueness of a concept to uncertainty areas at their borders by decreasing the upper approximations and increasing the lower approximations. So, the object of this study is to propose four types of approximation spaces in rough set theory utilizing ideals and a new type of neighborhoods called "the intersection of maximal right and left neighborhoods". We investigate the master properties of the proposed approximation spaces and demonstrate that these spaces reduce boundary regions and improve accuracy measures. A comparative study of the present methods and the previous ones is given and shown that the current study is more general and accurate. The importance of the current paper is not only that it is introducing new kinds of approximation spaces relying mainly on ideals and a new type of neighborhoods which increases the accuracy measure and reduces the boundary region of subsets, but also that these approximation spaces are monotonic, which means that it can be successfully used to evaluate the uncertainty in the data. In the end of this paper, we provide a medical example of the heart attacks problem to show the efficiency of the current techniques in terms of approximation operators, accuracy measures, and monotonic property.
