This paper addresses the problem of the explanation of the result given by a decision tree, when it is used to predict the class of new cases. In order to evaluate this result, the...
We propose a new decision tree algorithm, Class Confidence Proportion Decision Tree (CCPDT), which is robust and insensitive to class distribution and generates rules which are st...

In this paper, a hybrid learning approach named HDT is proposed. HDT simulates human reasoning by using symbolic learning to do qualitative analysis and using neural learning to d...
Tree models are valuable tools for predictive modeling and data mining. Traditional tree-growing methodologies such as CART are known to suffer from problems including greediness,...
Abstract. Data with multi-valued categorical attributes can cause major problems for decision trees. The high branching factor can lead to data fragmentation, where decisions have ...
