Abstract
The problem considered is a transformation of a set of user given decision rules into a set of new rules which are more general than the original ones and more optimal with regard to a user defined criterion. The decision rules are expressed in the VL21 logic system which permits a more general rule format than typically used, and facilitates a compact and easy to understand expression of descriptions of different degrees of generality. The paper gives a brief descriFtion of methodology for rule induction and of a computer program.

Hierarchical decision rules mining
Decision rules mining is an important technique in machine learning and data mining. It has been studied intensively during the past few years. However, most existing algorithms are based on flat dataset, from which a set of decision rules mined may be ...
Hyperplane Aggregation of Dominance Decision Rules
International Conference on Soft Computing and Distributed Processing (SCDP'2002)In this paper we consider multiple criteria decision aid systems based on decision rules generated from examples. A common problem in such systems is the over-abundance of decision rules, as in many situations the rule generation algorithms produce very ...
Association rules and decision rules
AbstractDetermining association rules of significant interest is an essential task within data mining and statistical analysis. In this paper, we first precisely define the notion of association rule. For this, we introduce a general model, which includes ...
