The Interval Parameter Optimization Model Based on Three-Way Decision Space and Its Application on “Green Products Recommendation” by Mingxia Li, Kebing Chen, Caiyun Liu, Baoxiang Liu

“…Through adjusting interval parameters of the lattice structure, we could find that when parameter α is roughly 0.6, more credible decision rules will be mined and decision-making becomes more clear than that under the condition α is less than 0.6; finally, we verify the model by a “Green Products Recommendation” example.…”
