Explanation of terms of sequence operators and grey data mining
Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to present the terms of sequence operators and grey data mining.
Design/methodology/approach
The definitions of basic terms about sequence operators and grey data mining are presented one by one.
Findings
The reader could know the basic explanation about the important terms about sequence operators and grey data mining from this paper.
Practical implications
Many of the colleagues thought that unified definitions of key terms would be beneficial for both the readers and the authors.
Originality/value
It is a fundamental work to standardize all the definitions of terms for a new discipline. It is also propitious to spread the universal principles of grey system theory.
