DECISION MAKING USING ID3 ALGORITHM
Mary K. Slocum · 2012
As we look at Data Mining tools, we see that there are different algorithms used for creating a decision making (or predictive analysis) system. There are algorithms for creating decision trees such as J48 along with algorithms for determining known nearest neighbor (KNN) or clustering when working on pattern recognition. The goal of this paper is to look at one particular decision tree algorithm called Iterative Dichotomiser 3 (ID3) and how it can be used with data mining for medical research. The purpose is to manipulate vast amounts of data and transform it into information that can be used to make a decision.
