Evaluating the performance of cost-based discretization versus entropy- and error-based discretization
Discretization is defined as the process that divides continuous numeric values into intervals of discrete categorical values. In this article, the concept of cost-based discretization as a pre-processing step to the induction of a classifier is introduced in order to obtain an optimal multi-interval splitting for each numeric attribute. A transparent description of the method and the steps inv...
متن کاملError-Based and Entropy-Based Discretization of Continuous Features
We present a comparison of error-based and entropybased methods for discretization of continuous features. Our study includes both an extensive empirical comparison as well as an analysis of scenarios where error minimization may be an inappropriate discretization criterion. We present a discretization method based on the C4.5 decision tree algorithm and compare it to an existing entropy-based ...
متن کاملDiscretization Based on Entropy and Multiple Scanning
In this paper we present entropy driven methodology for discretization. Recently, the original entropy based discretization was enhanced by including two options of selecting the best numerical attribute. In one option, Dominant Attribute, an attribute with the smallest conditional entropy of the concept given the attribute is selected for discretization and then the best cut point is determine...
متن کاملEvolutionary Optimization Guided by Entropy-Based Discretization
The Learnable Evolution Model (LEM) involves alternating periods of optimization and learning, performa extremely well on a range of problems, a specialises in achieveing good results in relatively few function evaluations. LEM implementations tend to use sophisticated learning strategies. Here we continue an exploration of alternative and simpler learning strategies, and try Entropy-based Disc...
متن کاملthe comparative impact of prompts and recasts in processing instruction versus meaningful output-based instruction on efl learners’ writing accuracy
the purpose of the present study was to see which one of the two instruction-processing instruction (pi) and meaningful output based instruction (mobi) accompanied with prompt and recast- is more effective on efl learners’ writing accuracy. in order to homogenize the participants in term of language proficiency a preliminary english test (pet) was administrated between 74 intermediate students ...
