GROBIAN - The Rough Set Engine
(Grobmengen Informations-Analysator)

The GROBIAN project aims to develop user-friendly software to analyse data with rough set technology . For an introduction to this relatively new methodology, please consult the introductory papers by W. Ziarko or I. Düntsch & G. Gediga which are available on-line.

GROBIAN is written in C⁺⁺. Besides its own algorithms, the first version of GROBIAN used parts of the of the Rough Set Library RSL (2.0) , combined with a Windows(3.x/95) user interface. By now, most of the RSL code has been eliminated.

An integral part of the project is the iterative enhancement of GROBIAN's user-friendliness with usability engineering methods which are based on ISO 9241 / 10.

The current implementation of GROBIAN has, among others, the following features:

Core and reduct analysis
Rule extraction
Rule based classification
Statistical analysis of the significance of the rules
Data transformation and filtering
Uncertainty measuring
Jackknife validation
Training set - Testing set validation
