An Extension of Rough Set Approximation to Flow Graph Based Data Analysis

This paper concerns some aspects of mathematical flow graph based data analysis. In particular, taking a flow graph view on rough sets' categories and measures leads to a new methodology of inductively reasoning form data. This perspective shows interesting relationships and properties among rough set, flow graphs and inverse flow graphs. A possible car dealer application is outlined and discussed. Evidently, our new categories and measures assist and alleviate some limitations in flow graphs to discover new patterns and explanations.
