Unit 3D

This document discusses classification rules and models for machine learning problems. It provides examples of classification rules learned from weather and iris datasets. For the weather data, rules are provided to predict whether to "play" based on outlook, humidity, and temperature attributes. For the iris data, rules are given to classify the type of iris based on sepal width, petal length, petal width attributes. The document also discusses decision trees as a way to visualize classification rules with node tests and leaf predictions.

Classification rules and

model
The weather problem

• The weather problem is a tiny dataset that we


will use repeatedly to illustrate machine learning
methods.
A set of rules learned from this information
• If outlook = overcast then play = yes
• If humidity = normal then play = yes
• If outlook = sunny and humidity = high then play =
no
A set of rules that are intended to be interpreted
in sequence is called a Decision list.
• In Table 1.3, two of the attributes—temperature
and humidity—have numeric values.

• This means that any learning method must create


inequalities involving these attributes rather than
simple equality tests, as in the former case. This
is called a numeric-attribute problem

• In this case, a mixed-attribute problem


because not all attributes are numeric.
Now the first rule given earlier might take the
following form:
• If outlook = sunny and humidity > 81 then play
= no

Write few more rules


• The rules we have seen so far are classification
rules

• They predict whether to play or not.


• Contact lenses: An idealized
problem
• Write few classification rules
Decision Tree
• Nodes in a decision tree involve testing a
particular attribute.

• Usually, the test at a node compares an attribute


value with a constant.

• However, some trees compare two attributes with


each other, or use some function of one or more
attributes
Leaf nodes give a classification that applies to all
instances that reach the leaf.
• Write few classification rules
The following set of Classification rules might be
learned from this dataset:

• If petal length < 2.45 then Iris setosa

• If sepal width < 2.10 then Iris versicolor

• If sepal width < 2.45 and petal length < 4.55


then Iris versicolor

• If sepal width < 2.95 and petal width < 1.35


then Iris versicolor
• If petal length ≥ 5.15 then Iris virginica

• If petal width ≥ 1.85 then Iris virginica

• If petal width ≥ 1.75 and sepal width < 3.05 then


Iris virginica

• If petal length ≥ 4.95 and petal width < 1.55


then Iris virginica
