Generalized Entropy for Splitting on Numerical Attributes in Decision Trees
Decision Trees are well known for their training efficiency and their interpretable knowledge representation. They apply a greedy search and a divide-and-conquer approach to learn...

Induction of Oblique Decision Trees
This article describes a new system for induction of oblique decision trees. This system, OC1, combines deterministic hill-climbing with two forms of randomization to nd a good ob...

Softening Splits in Decision Trees Using Simulated Annealing
Predictions computed by a classification tree are usually constant on axis-parallel hyperrectangles corresponding to the leaves and have strict jumps on their boundaries. The densi...

Evaluating the performance of cost-based discretization versus entropy- and error-based discretization
Discretization is defined as the process that divides continuous numeric values into intervals of discrete categorical values. In this article, the concept of cost-based discretiz...

Partitioning Nominal Attributes in Decision Trees
To find the optimal branching of a nominal attribute at a node in an L-ary decision tree, one is often forced to search over all possible L-ary partitions for the one that yields t...
