The training dataset S is a vector such that the data elements xi S representing certain attributes or features of the sample dataset. This training data are from varying classes from where each sample is extracted. Any given node of the tree generated by C4.5 selects one attribute of the data that effectively divides the data set of samples (S) into subsets which can be assigned to one class or the other. It is the normalized information gain, which is the variation in entropy, which is expected to come from selecting an attribute that is used for splitting the data. The attribute factors that have with the highest normalized information gain is considered to make the decision. The C4.5 algorithm continues execution on the smaller sub-lists that have the next highest normalized information gain till the decision tree is completely formed.
3.2.4 Improved C4.5 Algorithm
1. Select dataset as an input to the algorithm for processing.
2. Create a given root node for the given tree
3. If all dataset are positive return the single-node tree root, with label = +
4. If all dataset are negative return the single-node tree root, with label = -
5. If attribute is empty, return the single-node tree Root, with label = most common value of Target_attribute in

Each of the path ranging from the root of the tree to the leaf gives the condition that must be satisfied if a case is to be classified by that leaf. C4.5 generalizes this prototype rule by dropping any conditions that are irrelevant to the class, guided again by the heuristic for estimating true error rates. The set of rules is reduced further based on the MDL principle described above. There are usually substantially fewer final rules than there are leaves on the tree, and yet the accuracy of the tree and the derived rules is similar. Rules have the added advantage of being more easily understood by

To improve my procedure, there are plenty of different ways to do so now that I have an increased experience with working with a large selection of trees. A major flaw with my research is by having to record the different types of trees in the zone, mainly height. Therefore, having to examine trees that vary greatly from each other. By having trees that represented the whole zone, instead of part of a zone, it would give more accurate information. To achieve even more accurate information, looking at the largest leaf for each tree would give a better

What questions do you have about the overarching Unit 5 assignment? Although not due until the end of the class, it is important that you begin planning for this project early in the course. What are your initial thoughts about how you will approach this assignment? Explain.
Classification Text documents are arranged into groups of pre-labeled class. Learning schemes learn through training text documents and efficiency of these system is tested by using test text documents. Common algorithms include decision tree learning, naive Bayesian classification, nearest neighbor and neural network. This is called supervised learning.
A set of rules for making an operational business decision may be expressed as a decision table or decision tree.
Data mining has emerged as an important method to discover useful information, hidden patterns or rules from different types of datasets. Association rule mining is one of the dominating data mining technologies. Association rule mining is a process for finding associations or relations between data items or attributes in large datasets. Association rule is one of the most popular techniques and an important research issue in the area of data mining and knowledge discovery for many different purposes such as data analysis, decision support, patterns or correlations discovery on different types of datasets. Association rule mining has been proven to be a successful technique for extracting useful information from large datasets. Various algorithms or models were developed many of which have been applied in various application domains that include telecommunication networks, market analysis, risk management, inventory control and many others

Normalization is the process of identifying the one best place where each fact belongs, it is being used to minimizinge data redundancy and optimizinge data structure by systematically and properly placing data elements in appropriate g...
Various learning situations may dictate differing learning processes. The three that will be briefly highlighted in this paper are; learning by induction, through the use of decision rules or decision trees; learning by discovery; and learning by taking advice, explanation-based generalization. The concept of multi-strategy learning in order to handle more complex problems will also be examined.
Then classification is performed on the basis of similarity score of a class with respect to a neighbor.
Definition. A path from node n1 to node nk is a sequence of nodes n1, n2, …, nk such that ni is the parent of ni+1 for 1 ≤ i < k. The length of a path is the number of edges in the path, not the number of nodes. Because the edges in a tree are directed, all paths are “downward”, i.e., towards leaves and away from the root. The height of a node is the length of the longest path from the node to any of its descendants. Naturally the longest path must be to a leaf node. The depth of a node is the length of the path from the root to the node. The root has depth 0. All leaf nodes have height 0.
First, a tree begins life as a tiny seed embedded in the Earth, but with time and nourishment it grows. I too, started life as a small sapling and continued to grow. Along with growth, roots begin to develop. Roots are essential for a tree’s survival. They provide the tree with nutrients in order for it to survive, just as my mother provided me with nutrients and instilled in me skills I use today. The development of roots requires time and dedication. The tree must be exposed to sunlight and water. Sunlight gives the tree energy, and water saturates the roots forming them deeply. Deeply formed roots are able to stand throughout all the effects and actions of nature/environment. My roots are my faith and my mother. Simply having a relationship with Christ stimulates root growth. The full development of my roots occurs when I have devoted my time to saturate them by studying His word and dep...
Machine learning systems can be categorized according to many different criteria. We will discuss three criteria: Classification on the basis of the underlying learning strategies used, Classification on the basis of the representation of knowledge or skill acquired by the learner and Classification in terms of the application domain of the performance system for which knowledge is acquired.
