Applying Rough Set Theory for the Modeling of Austempered Ductile Iron Properties

The article discusses the possibilities of employing an algorithm based on the Rough Set Theory for generating engineering knowledge in the form of logic rules. The logic rules were generated from the data set characterizing the influence of process parameters on the ultimate tensile strength of austempered ductile iron. The paper assesses the obtained logic rules with the help of the rule quality evaluation measures, that is, with the help of the measures of confidence, support, and coverage, as well as the proposed rule quality coefficient.
