Intelligent Statistical Data Mining with Information Complexity and Genetic Algorithms
Hamparsum Bozdogan · 2003
This paper develops a computationally feasible intelligent data mining and knowledge discovery technique that addresses the potentially daunting statistical and combinatorial problems presented by subset regression models. Our approach integrates novel statistical modelling procedures based on an information-theoretic measure of complexity. We form a three-way hybrid between: information measures of complexity, multiple regression models, and genetic algorith ms (GAs). We demonstrate our new approach using a simulated example and on a real data set to illustrate the versatility and the utility of the new approach.
