Rough Membership Function

A Rough Membership Function is a tool used in a mathematical framework called rough set theory to express how strongly an element belongs to a particular category. Instead of giving a simple yes or no answer, it provides a degree of membership—ranging between 0 and 1—that reflects the certainty or uncertainty of the element’s inclusion. This approach helps manage imprecise or incomplete information, allowing for more nuanced decision-making by indicating the level of confidence we have that an element belongs to a certain set.
