Abstract

In this paper, we present an algorithm that discovers action rules from a decision table. Action rules describe possible transitions of objects from one state to another with respect to a distinguished attribute. The previous research on action rule discovery required the extraction of classification rules before constructing any action rule. The new proposed algorithm does not require pre-existing classification rules, and it uses a bottom up approach to generate action rules having minimal attribute involvement.
