Abstract(in English) This research shows a study on issues that cause low performance in disease prediction such as overlap and imbalance and suggests solutions based on fuzzy rough sets to overcome these problems. We apply several methods based on rough set theory to deal with overlap by selecting valuable instances. The considerable results in combination of rough instance selection and balancing technique are then noticed. In this study, we also apply new proposed approach that uses only fuzzy-rough instance selection to dealing with the both issues. This means that without balancing techniques, performance still improves. Some experiments are conducted to show the methods.
