Our aim of writing this manuscript is to found novel rough-approximation operators inspired by an abstract structure called "supra-topology". This approach is more relaxed than topological ones and extends the scope of applications because an intersection condition of topology is dispensed. Firstly, we generate eight types of supra-topologies using -neighborhood systems induced from any arbitrary relation. We elucidate the relationships between them and investigate the conditions under which some of them are identical. Then, we create new rough sets models from these supra-topologies and present the main characterizations of their lower and upper approximations. We apply these approximations to classify the regions of the subset and compute its accuracy measures. The master merits of the current approach are to produce the highest accuracy values compared with all approaches given in the published literature under a reflexive relation as well as preserve the monotonicity property of accuracy and roughness measures. Moreover, we demonstrate the good performance of the followed technique through analysis of some data of dengue fever disease. Ultimately, we debate the advantages and disadvantages of the followed approach and make a plan for some upcoming work.
