DESCRIPTION

r.mcda.roughset is the python implementation of the dominance rough set approach (Domlem algorithm) in GRASS GIS environment. It requires the following input:
1. the geographical criteria constituting the information system for the rough set analysis; they have to describe environmental, economic or social issues(criteria=name[,name,...]);
2. the preference (preferences=character)for each criteria used in analysis (gain or cost with comma separator)
3. the theme in which areas with the issues to be studied are classified (with crescent preference values) (decision=string).

An information system is generated and Domlem algorithm is applied for extraction a minimal set of rules.

The algorithm builds two text files (outputTxt=name): the first with isf extension for more deep analysis with non geographic software like 4emka and JAMM ; the second file with rls extension hold all the set of rules generate. An output map (outputMap=string)is generated for region classification with the rules finded and the criteria stored in GRASS geodb.

NOTES

The module can work very slowly with high number of criteria and sample. For bug please contact Gianluca Massei (g_mass@libero.it)
