This article aims to show several approaches that allow effective treatment of uncertain, inaccurate, or unknown knowledge. On the one hand, a brief review of the theoretical background for these different paradigms is provided. On the other hand, the different extensions of soft sets are justified in the application to decision making. We pay special attention to applications in the medical sciences and provide a study case for biological signaling pathways.</p> ER -
