Usage of Fuzzy, Rough, and Soft Set Approach in Association Rule Mining

This paper is two folded. In first fold, the authors have illustrated the interplay among fuzzy, rough, and soft set theory and their way of handling vagueness. In second fold, the authors have studied their individual strengths to discover association rules. The performance of these three approaches in discovering comprehensible rules are presented.
