Classification rules induction is a central problem addressed by machine learning and data mining. Rough sets theory is an
important tool for data classification. Traditional rough sets approach, however, pursuits the fully correct or certain classification
rules without considering other factors such as uncertain class labeling, importance of examples, as well as the uncertainty
of the final rules. A generalized rough sets model, GRS, is proposed and a classification rules induction approach based on
GRS is suggested. Our approach extends the variable precision rough sets model and attempts to reduce the inuence of noise
by considering the importance of each training example and handling the uncertain class labels. The final classification rules
are also measured with the uncertainty factor.
