Abstract(in English) In recent years data mining has attracted many researchers among both artificial intelligence and database communities. Construction of regression trees is a topic of data mining. A regression tree is a rooted binary tree such that each internal node contains a test for splitting tuples into two disjoint classes. The mean of the objective attribute values at the leaf is used as the predicted value of the tuple. To test a numerical attribute, traditional methods use a guillotine-cut splitting that classifies data into those below a given value and others. In this paper, as an alternative of guillotine-cut splitting, we consider a family R of grid-regions in the plane associated with two given numeric attributes. And we propose to use a test that splits data into those that lie inside a region R and those that lie outside. Some experimental results showed that regression trees constructed through our method have higher accuracy than those through guillotine-cut splitting.
