Mass assignment fuzzy ID3 with applications
JF Baldwin, Jonathan Lawry, T. Patrick Martin · 1997
A mass assignment based ID3 algorithm for learning probabilistic fuzzy decision trees is introduced. Fuzzy partitions are used to discretise continuous feature universes and to reduce complexity when universes are discrete but with large cardinalities. Furthermore, the fuzzy partitioning of classification universes facilitates the use of these decision trees in function approximation problems. The potential of this approach is then illustrated by its application to a number of test and real world problems.
