Computational intelligence innovation and the use of computers have changed the entire healthcare delivery system. Nurses are the leading crew of healthcare organization. But, these nurses are either lacking in computer usage or automated analysis generated by computers. Therefore, it motivates to study the use of computers and information technology by nurses in Indian healthcare system. Further, it is essential to identify the chief factors where these nurses are lacking while using computers and information technology. This will help the management to take necessary measure to train them and make the healthcare industry more productive in perception with usage of computer and information technology. To this end, data has collected from nurses in hospitals in the state of Tamilnadu, India. Data collection is not beneficial unless it is analyzed and meaningful information obtained from it. In this paper, we hybridize rough set and formal concept analysis to arrive at chief factors affecting the decisions. Rough set is used to analyze the data and to generate rules. These generated rules further passed into formal concept analysis to identify the chief characteristics affecting the decisions. This in turn help the organization to provide adequate training to the nurses and the healthcare system will move further to the next stage. © 2019, IUPESM and Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature.

The growth of information and communication technology makes people neglect their cultural heritage due to various factors, and it leads to a lack of cultural heritage transformation from one generation to the next generation. It greatly impacts on pilgrimage attitude towards cultural heritage. Besides, the expansion of heritage places improves the economic worth of any nation. Further, pilgrimage attraction is a major concern, which in turn improves the business opportunities. In general, cultural heritage depends on the historical, aesthetic, and architectural value of a particular place. Apart from these factors, some other parameters are also associated with cultural heritage. Therefore, it is significant to understand the behavioral pattern of the pilgrimage and their likeliness. This paper makes a phenomenological approach to uncover subliminal values associated with the cultural heritage places of Odisha, India. The prime objective is to study the attitude of pilgrimage towards visiting cultural heritage places. The attitude of pilgrimage depends on different dimensions, such as historical, aesthetic, architectural, spiritual, environment, economic, and management. Looking into uncertainty and frequent changes in human behavior, we employ variance-based structural equation modeling using partial least square and rough set for analyzing the information system. Variance-based structural equation modeling using partial least square help us to identify the factors that are essential for the study, and then the rough set is used to generate the rules. It, in turn, study the attitude of pilgrimage towards cultural heritage place of Odisha. © 2020, Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature.

An integrated partial least square and rough set approach for studying pilgrimage attitude towards cultural heritage of Odisha

In Indian economy, agriculture is the prime vocation that avails in the overall development of the country. Tamil Nadu occupies approximately 7% of the nation's population, with 3% of water resources and 4% of land resources at the country level. The crop suitability prediction is of prime importance to enhance the nutritional security to the developing country. Based on several crops grown in a particular place, and the availability of natural resources, one can identify the suitability of crops that can be grown in a particular place. To this end, many mathematical tools were developed, but they failed to include processing of uncertainties present in the accumulated data. Therefore, in this paper an effort has been made to process the uncertainties by hybridizing rough set on fuzzy approximation space and neural network. The rough set on fuzzy approximation space identifies the almost indiscernibility among the natural resources and helps in minimizing the computational procedure on employing data reduction techniques, whereas neural network helps in prediction process. The proposed model is analysed on agriculture data of Vellore District of Tamil Nadu, India, and achieved 93% of classification accuracy in validation. The model is compared with an earlier model and achieved 8% more accuracy while predicting unseen associations. © 2017, The Natural Computing Applications Forum.

Crop suitability prediction in Vellore District using rough set on fuzzy approximation space and neural network

This article describes how agriculture is the main occupation of India, and how the economy depends on agricultural production. Most of the land in India is dedicated to agriculture and people depend on the production of agricultural products. Therefore, forecasting the accuracy of future events based on extracted patterns plays a vital role in improving agricultural productivity. By considering the availability of micronutrients and macronutrients of the soil and water in a particular place, the growth of a plant is determined. This helps people to determine the crops to be cultivated at a certain place. In this article, the forecasting is carried out using rough sets and genetic algorithms. Rough sets are used to produce the decision rules whereas genetic algorithms are used to refine the rules and improve classification accuracy. Accuracy of the classification rules is analyzed using different selection methods and crossover operators. Results show that genetic algorithms with a roulette wheel selection and single point crossover provides better performance when compared with other existing techniques.

A Rule Based Classification for Vegetable Production Using Rough Set and Genetic Algorithm

Currently, internet is the best tool for distributed computing, which involves spreading of data geographically. But, retrieving information from huge data is critical and has no relevance unless it provides certain information. Prediction of missing associations can be viewed as fundamental problems in machine learning where the main objective is to determine decisions for the missing associations. Mathematical models such as naive Bayes structure, human composed network structure, Bayesian network modelling, etc., were developed to this end. But, it has certain limitations and failed to include uncertainties. Therefore, effort has been made to process inconsistencies in the data with the introduction of rough set theory. This paper uses two processes, pre-process and post-process, to predict the decisions for the missing associations in the attribute values. In preprocess, rough set is used to reduce the dimensionality, whereas neural network is used in postprocess to explore the decision for the missing associations. A real-life example is provided to show the viability of the proposed research. © 2015 Inderscience Enterprises Ltd.

Neural network and rough set hybrid scheme for prediction of missing associations

Medical diagnosis process vary in the degree to which they attempt to deal with different complicating aspects of diagnosis such as relative importance of symptoms, varied symptom pattern and the relation between diseases themselves. Rough set approach has two major advantages over the other methods. First, it can handle different types of data such as categorical, numerical etc. Secondly, it does not make any assumption like probability distribution function in stochastic modeling or membership grade function in fuzzy set theory. It involves pattern recognition through logical computational rules rather than approximating them through smooth mathematical functional forms. In this paper we use rough set theory as a data mining tool to derive useful patterns and rules for kidney cancer faulty diagnosis. In particular, the historical data of twenty five research hospitals and medical college is used for validation and the results show the practical viability of the proposed approach.
