Given a data set consisting of pairs x and y, where x denotes an element of the population and y the class it belongs to, a classification rule h(x) is a function that assigns each element x to a predicted class ^ = (). A binary classification is such that the label y can take only one of two values.
An associative classifier (AC) is a kind of supervised learning model that uses association rules to assign a target value. The term associative classification was coined by Bing Liu et al., [1] in which the authors defined a model made of rules "whose right-hand side are restricted to the classification class attribute".
Decision tree learning is a supervised learning approach used in statistics, data mining and machine learning.In this formalism, a classification or regression decision tree is used as a predictive model to draw conclusions about a set of observations.
A famous story about association rule mining is the "beer and diaper" story. A purported survey of behavior of supermarket shoppers discovered that customers (presumably young men) who buy diapers tend also to buy beer. This anecdote became popular as an example of how unexpected association rules might be found from everyday data.
The CN2 induction algorithm is a learning algorithm for rule induction. [1] It is designed to work even when the training data is imperfect. It is based on ideas from the AQ algorithm and the ID3 algorithm. As a consequence it creates a rule set like that created by AQ but is able to handle noisy data like ID3.
Rule-based machine learning (RBML) is a term in computer science intended to encompass any machine learning method that identifies, learns, or evolves 'rules' to store, manipulate or apply. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] The defining characteristic of a rule-based machine learner is the identification and utilization of a set of relational rules that ...
C4.5 is an algorithm used to generate a decision tree developed by Ross Quinlan. [1] C4.5 is an extension of Quinlan's earlier ID3 algorithm.The decision trees generated by C4.5 can be used for classification, and for this reason, C4.5 is often referred to as a statistical classifier.
Apriori [1] is an algorithm for frequent item set mining and association rule learning over relational databases.It proceeds by identifying the frequent individual items in the database and extending them to larger and larger item sets as long as those item sets appear sufficiently often in the database.
