ABSTRACT Modified Rough Sets (MRS)-based diagnostic systems eliminated many of the limitations of Rough Sets (RS)-based, statistical-based, and decision tree-based systems and because of that, they have a better performance. In contrast with the other systems, MRS-based diagnostic systems have potential to handle Multi-Decision Approximate (MDA) rules. In this paper, we (1) develop a diagnostic model based on MDA rules and (2) evaluate the classification power of the model. 1. INTRODUCTION The Rough Sets (RS) and Modified Rough sets (MRS) based systems prove to be worthy of consideration in diagnostic systems. To be more specific, these approaches deliver a better performance than systems based on Neural Networks, Decision trees, and the statistical models
