Decision tree learning algorithms produce accurate models that can be interpreted by domain experts. However, these algorithms are known to be unstable – they can produce drastic...
Most decision tree classifiers are designed to keep class histograms for single attributes, and to select a particular attribute for the next split using said histograms. In this ...
In this paper we present the Slim-tree, a dynamic tree for organizing metric datasets in pages of fixed size. The Slim-tree uses the "fat-factor" which provides a simple ...

Discretization refers to splitting the range of continuous values into intervals so as to provide useful information about classes. This is usually done by minimizing a goodness m...
A new decision tree learning algorithm called IDX is described. More general than existing algorithms, IDX addresses issues of decision tree quality largely overlooked in the arti...
