We introduce a numerical measure on sets of partitions of finite sets that is linked to the Goodman-Kruskal association index commonly used in statistics. This measure allows us t...
The automatic generation of diagnostic decision trees from qualitative models is a reasonable compromise between the advantages of using a modelbased approach in technical domains...
While decision trees have been used primarily for classification, they can also model regression or function approximation. Like classification trees, regression trees often yield...
In this paper, we address the issue of evaluating decision trees generated from training examples by a learning algorithm. We give a set of performance measures and show how some ...
