Conventional algorithms for decision tree induction use an attribute-value representation scheme for instances. This paper explores the empirical consequences of using set-valued ...
Before applying learning algorithms to datasets, practitioners often globally discretize any numeric attributes. If the algorithm cannot handle numeric attributes directly, prior ...
A new class of associations (polynomial itemsets and polynomial association rules) is presented which allows for discovering nonlinear relationships between numeric attributes wit...
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 ...
Predictive models developed by applying Data Mining techniques are used to improve forecasting accuracy in the airline business. In order to maximize the revenue on a flight, the ...
