CHAID and Earlier Supervised Tree Methods
نویسندگان
چکیده
The aim of this paper is twofold. First we discuss the origin of tree methods. Essentially we survey earlier methods that led to CHAID (Kass, 1980; Biggs et al., 1991). The second goal is then to explain in details the functioning of CHAID, especially the differences between the original method as described in Kass (1980) and the nowadays currently implemented extension that was proposed by Biggs et al. (1991).

Inducing Fuzzy Decision Trees in Non-Deterministic Domains using CHAID
Most decision tree induction methods used for extracting knowledge in classification problems are unable to deal with uncertainties embedded within the data, associated with human thinking and perception. This paper describes the development of a novel tree induction algorithm which improves the classification accuracy of decision tree induction in non-deterministic domains. The research involv...
متن کاملComparison of regression tree data mining methods for prediction of mortality in head injury
With this research, we sought to examine the performance of six different regression tree data mining methods to predict mortality in head injury. Using a data set consisting of 1603 head injury cases, we assessed the performance of: the Classification and Regression Trees (CART) method; the Chi-squared Automatic Interaction Detector (CHAID) method; the Exhaustive CHAID (E-CHAID) method; the Qu...

Decision tree is a data mining technique used for the classification and forecasting of the data. It is the supervised learning algorithm that follows the greedy approach and works in a top down manner. Decision tree uses white box model approach and classifies the data in a hierarchical structure. It makes data easy to represent and understand. It can handle a large database and works well wit...
متن کاملUse of CHAID Decision Trees to Formulate Pathways for the Early Detection of Metabolic Syndrome in Young Adults
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) in young adults (age 20-39) is often undiagnosed. A simple screening tool using a surrogate measure might be invaluable in the early detection of MetS. Methods. A chi-squared automatic interaction detection (CHAID) decision tree analysis with waist circumference user-specified as the first level was used to detect MetS in young adults using data from the National Healt...

For the sustainable use of groundwater, this study analyzed groundwater productivity-potential using a decision-tree approach in a geographic information system (GIS) in Boryeong and Pohang cities, Korea. The model was based on the relationship between groundwater-productivity data, including specific capacity (SPC), and its related hydrogeological factors. SPC data which is measured and calcul...
