Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) The technique which derives a general rule to explain the given examples called an inductive learning.In this paper,we discuss on the decision tree as a method for the expressing the knowledge obtained by learning though there are various forms such as the formal.language,the predicate logical expression,and PROLOGprogram. The ID3 is proposed by J.R.Quinlan as a method for constructing the decision t e.However the correlation of two or more attributes can not take into account.because only one attribute paid attention in each step of the generation process of the tree.As a result,it is not guaranteed that the average number of questions using the generated rule is minimized.We propose a new algorithm which enables to consider the relationship between two or more attributes in each step of the generation process of the tree.And it is shown a more efficient decision tree can be constructed.
