Decision tree classification techniques are currently gaining increasing impact especially in the light of the ongoing growth of data mining services. A central challenge for the decision tree classification is the identification of split rule and correct attributes. In this context, the article aims at presenting the current state of research on different techniques for classification using ob...

Decision tree construction is an important data-mining problem. In this paper we introduce an approach of using cumulative information estimations for fuzzy decision tree induction. We present new type of fuzzy decision tree: ordered tree. This tree is oriented to parallel processing of attributes with differing costs.

Apart from the need for superior accuracy, healthcare applications of intelligent systems also demand deployment interpretable machine learning models which allow clinicians to interrogate and validate extracted medical knowledge. Fuzzy rule-based are generally considered that able reflect associations between conditions associated symptoms, through use linguistic if-then statements. Systems bu...

Searching for a binary partition of attribute domains is an important task in data mining. It is present in both decision tree construction and discretization. The most important advantages of decision tree methods are compactness and clearness of knowledge representation as well as high accuracy of classification. Decision tree algorithms also have some drawbacks. In cases of large data tables...

DEXSY2 is a dental expert system, which diagnoses oral diseases and offers a treatment course. The system which is designed and implemented from scratch is capable of diagnosing among thirty five oral diseases and offering a course of treatment for each. It uses a decision tree for its representation of knowledge, and each of its nodes contains a frame. The knowledge base of the system contains...

Application of knowledge discovery in databases (data mining) for medical decision support is discussed in this work. The aim of the study was to use decision support algorithm for the differential diagnosis of intraocular tumors using parameters from eye images obtained by the ultrasound examination. Application of predictive modeling algorithm for decision tree formation using See5.0/C5.0 dat...

Decision tree is one of the most significant classification methods applied in data mining. By its graphic output, users could have an easy way to interpret the decision flow and the mining outcome. However, decision tree is known to be time consuming. It will spend a high computation cost when mining the large scale dataset in the real world. This drawback causes decision tree to be ineligible...

soil texture is an important soil physical property that governs most physical, chemical, biological, and hydrological processes in soils. detailed information on soil texture variability is crucial for proper crop and land management and environmental studies. therefore, at present research, 103 soil profiles were dogged and then sampled in order to prepare digital map of soil texture in bijar...

Thermal pasteurization is known as the most common method in food processing. In this study, the effectiveness of come up time on inactivation of heat resistance isoform of polyphenol oxidase (PPO), as a pasteurization index, was investigated during heating of the quince puree in a water bath at 60 to 90 . M5 decision tree, a novel statistical method, was applied to understand the simple relati...
