Classification

Classification—A Two-Step Process

Classification classifies data (constructs a model)

based on the training set and the values (class labels) in a classifying attribute and uses it in classifying new data

predicts categorical class labels (discrete or nominal)

Classification

Typical applications Credit approval Target marketing Medical diagnosis Fraud detection And much more

Decision Tree Decision Tree induction is the learning

of decision trees from class-labeled training tuples

A decision tree is a flowchart-like tree structure, where each internal node denotes a test on an attribute

Each Branch represents an outcome of the test

Each Leaf node holds a class label

Decision Tree Example

Decision Tree Algorithm

Basic algorithm (a greedy algorithm) Tree is constructed in a top-down recursive

divide-and-conquer manner At start, all the training examples are at the

root Attributes are categorical (if continuous-

valued, they are discretized in advance) Test attributes are selected on the basis of a

heuristic or statistical measure (e.g., information gain)

Attribute Selection Measure: Information Gain (ID3/C4.5) Select the attribute with the highest

information gain Let pi be the probability that an

arbitrary tuple in D belongs to class Ci, estimated by |Ci, D|/|D|

Decision Tree

Similarily, we can compute Gain(income)=0.029 Gain(student)=0.151 Gain(credit_rating)=0.048

Since “age” obtains highest information gain, we can partition the tree into:
