Optimization of Approximate Decision Rules Relative to Number of Misclassifications: Comparison of Greedy and Dynamic Programming Approaches

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNAI,volume 7828))

Abstract

In the paper, we present a comparison of dynamic programming and greedy approaches for construction and optimization of approximate decision rules relative to the number of misclassifications. We use an uncertainty measure that is a difference between the number of rows in a decision table T and the number of rows with the most common decision for T. For a nonnegative real number γ, we consider γ-decision rules that localize rows in subtables of T with uncertainty at most γ. Experimental results with decision tables from the UCI Machine Learning Repository are also presented.
