An improvement of LEM2 algorithm

Rule based machine learning techniques are very important in our real world now. We can list out some important application which we can apply rule based machine learning algorithm such as medical data mining, business transaction mining. The different between rules based machine learning and model based machine learning is that model based machine learning out put some models, which often are very difficult to understand by expert or human. But rule based techniques output are the rule sets which is in IF THEN format. For example IF blood pressure=90 and kidney problem=yes then take this drug. By this way, medical doctor can easy modify and update some usable rule. This is the scenario in medical decision support system. Currently, Rough set is one of the most famous theory which can be used for produce the rule. LEM2 is the algorithm use this theory and can produce the small set of rule on the database. In this paper, we present an improvement of LEM2 algorithm which incorporates the variable precision techniques.
