ABSTRACT:
Continuous attributes are used as input attributes in decision tree creation. Buckets are created by dividing the range of values for the continuous attribute into sub-ranges of equal extent. These buckets form initial partitions. Mergers of adjacent partitions are considered to determine score gains from such mergers, and the most useful mergers occur. The resulting partitions are used as the discretization of the continuous attribute for use as an input attribute.
