Abstract

This chapter presents methods to optimally granulize rough set partition sizes using a genetic algorithm. The procedure is applied to model the militarized interstate dispute data. The procedure is then compared to the rough set partition method that was based on simulated annealing. The results obtained showed that, for the data being analyzed, a genetic algorithm provides higher forecasting accuracy than does the process of simulated annealing.
