Effects of the distribution of the values of condition attribute on the quality of decision rules

Abstract

The table-organized data can be analyzed by various algorithms; some of them are capable of generating IF THEN decision rules which comprises of condition attributes and decision attributes. However, it is possible to reduce the set of condition attributes but without information loss. By analysis of the condition attributes set and cuts histogram obtained by discretization and rule consistency, it is possible to choose condition attributes. This paper gives some directions and the practical example.
