Abstract

Separate-and-conquer classifiers strongly depend on the criteria used to choose which rules will be included in the classification model. When association rules are employed to build such classifiers (as in ART [3]), rule evaluation can be performed attending to different criteria (other than the traditional confidence measure used in association rule mining). In this paper, we analyze the desirable properties of such alternative criteria and their effect in building rule-based classifiers using a separate-and-conquer strategy.
