An Overview of Alternative Rule Evaluation Criteria and Their Use in Separate-and-Conquer Classifiers
نویسندگان
چکیده
Separate-and-conquer classifiers strongly depend on the criteria used to choose which rules will be included in the classification model. When association rules are employed to build such classifiers (as in ART [3]), rule evaluation can be performed attending to different criteria (other than the traditional confidence measure used in association rule mining). In this paper, we analyze the desirable properties of such alternative criteria and their effect in building rule-based classifiers using a separate-and-conquer strategy.

NEW CRITERIA FOR RULE SELECTION IN FUZZY LEARNING CLASSIFIER SYSTEMS
Designing an effective criterion for selecting the best rule is a major problem in theprocess of implementing Fuzzy Learning Classifier (FLC) systems. Conventionally confidenceand support or combined measures of these are used as criteria for fuzzy rule evaluation. In thispaper new entities namely precision and recall from the field of Information Retrieval (IR)systems is adapted as alternative...
متن کاملInvestigating the missing data effect on credit scoring rule based models: The case of an Iranian bank
Credit risk management is a process in which banks estimate probability of default (PD) for each loan applicant. Data sets of previous loan applicants are built by gathering their data, and these internal data sets are usually completed using external credit bureau’s data and finally used for estimating PD in banks. There is also a continuous interest for bank to use rule based classifiers to b...
متن کاملFuzzy Apriori Rule Extraction Using Multi-Objective Particle Swarm Optimization: The Case of Credit Scoring
There are many methods introduced to solve the credit scoring problem such as support vector machines, neural networks and rule based classifiers. Rule bases are more favourite in credit decision making because of their ability to explicitly distinguish between good and bad applicants.In this paper multi-objective particle swarm is applied to optimize fuzzy apriori rule base in credit scoring. ...
متن کاملGeneralized 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 patterns. The greedy search is based on the evaluation criterion on the candidate splits at each node. Although research has been performed on various such criteria, there is no significant improvement from the classi...
متن کاملBlind Signal Separation Using an Extended Infomax Algorithm
The Infomax algorithm is a popular method in blind source separation problem. In this article an extension of the Infomax algorithm is proposed that is able to separate mixed signals with any sub- or super-Gaussian distributions. This ability is the results of using two different nonlinear functions and new coefficients in the learning rule. In this paper we show how we can use the distribution...
