  • First Online:
Decision Trees with Hypotheses

Abstract

In this chapter, we present greedy algorithms based on diverse uncertainty measures for the construction of decision trees with hypotheses and discuss the results of computer experiments on various data sets and randomly generated Boolean functions. We also study the length and coverage of decision rules derived from the decision trees constructed by greedy algorithms.
