A Fast Cutpoints Sieve Method for Interval-valued Decision Tree
In this paper,the concept of the frequently coveredpoints(FCP)and the infrequently covered points (ICP)is presented By means of the cutpoints sieve methodwe can rapidly pick out the corresponding cutpoints ofICP,namely preferred cutpoints,from all pendingcutpoints of interval attributes.And then,onlypreferred cutpoints are used for computinginformation entropy of partition(IEP).Finally,theinterval-valued decision tree can be built by IEP.Theexperiment indicates that,in general,this methodcould,to a great extent,reduce the computationalcomplexity of creation of decision tree,thereby,improving the efficiency of classification.
