Automatic Design of Decision-Tree Induction Algorithms
Presents a detailed study of the major design components that constitute a top-down decision-tree induction algorithm, including aspects such as split criteria, stopping criteria, pruning and the approaches for dealing with missing values. Whereas the strategy still employed nowadays is to use a ''generic'' decision-tree induction algorithm regardless of the data, the authors argue on the benefits...
