For better predictions and classifications in customer recommendation, this study proposes an integrative model that efficiently combines the currently-in-use statistical and artificial intelligence models. In particular, by integrating the models such as Association Rule, Frequency Matrix, and Rule Induction, this study suggests an integrative prediction model. Integrated models consist of four models: ASFM model which combines Association Rule(A) and Frequency Matrix(B), ASRI model which combines Association Rule(A) and Rule Induction(C), FMRI model which combines Frequency Matrix(B) and Rule Induction(C), and ASFMRI model which combines Association Rule(A), Frequency Matrix(B), and Rule Induction(C). The data set for the tests is collected from a convenience store G, which is the number one in its brand in S. Korea. This data set contains sales information on customer transactions from September 1, 2005 to December 7, 2005. About 1,000 transactions are selected for a specific item. Using this data set. it suggests an integrated model predicting whether a customer buys or not buys a specific product for target marketing strategy. The performance of integrated model is compared with that of other models. The results from the experiments show that the performance of integrated model is superior to that of all other models such as Association Rule, Frequency Matrix, and Rule Induction.

The rule induction system generates a set of inductive rules, and the task of selecting an optimal rule subset is one of the important problem in the area of rule induction. This paper proposes a new learning method which combines rule induction system with the paradigm of genetic algorithm. This paper shows that genetic algorithm can be effectively applied to optimal rule selection problem. The proposed system was evaluated using a set of different machine learning data sets and, showed better performance in all cases than other traditional methods.

In rough set literatures, methods for inducing minimal rules from a given decision table have been proposed. When the decision attribute is ordinal, inducing rules about upward and downward unions of decision classes is advantageous in the simplicity of obtained rules. However, because of independent applications of the rule induction method, inclusion relations among upward/downward unions in conclusion parts are not inherited to the condition parts of obtained rules. This non-inheritance may debase the quality of obtained rules. To ensure that inclusion relations among conclusions are inherited to conditions, we propose two rule induction approaches. The performances of the proposed approaches considering the inclusion relations between conclusions are examined by numerical experiments.

While most machine learning research has been primarily concerned with the development of systems that implement one type of learning strategy, we use a multistrategy approach which integrates rule induction learning and instance-based learning, and show how this marriage allows for overall better performance. In the rule induction learning phase, we derive an entropy function, based on Hellinger divergence, which can measure the amount of information each inductive rule contains, and show how well the Hellinger divergence measures the importance of each rule. We also propose some heuristics to reduce the computational complexity by analyzing the characteristics of the Hellinger measure. In the instance-based learning phase, we improve the current instance-based learning method in a number of ways. The system has been implemented and tested on a number of well-known machine learning data sets. The performance of the system has been compared with that of other classification learning technique.

One of the most important problems on rule induction methods is that they cannot extract rules, which plausibly represent experts decision processes. On one hand, rule induction methods induce probabilistic rules, the description length of which is too short, compared with the experts rules. On the other hand, construction of Bayesian networks generates too lengthy rules. In this paper, the characteristics of experts rules are closely examined and a new approach to extract plausible rules is introduced, which consists of the following three procedures. First, the characterization of decision attributes (given classes) is extracted from databases and the classes are classified into several groups with respect to the characterization. Then, two kinds of sub-rules, characterization rules for each group and discrimination rules for each class in the group are induced. Finally, those two parts are integrated into one rule for each decision attribute. The proposed method was evaluated on a medical database, the experimental results of which show that induced rules correctly represent experts decision processes.

Case-based reasoning (CBR) methods are applied to various target problems on the supposition that previous cases are sufficiently similar to current target problems, and the results of previous similar cases support the same result consistently. However, these assumptions are not applicable for some target cases. There are some target cases that have no sufficiently similar cases, or if they have, the results of these previous cases are inconsistent. That is, the appropriateness of CBR is different for each target case, even though they are problems in the same domain. Thus, applying CBR to whole datasets in a domain is not reasonable. This paper presents a new hybrid datamining technique called two-step filtering CBR and Rule Induction (TSFCR), which dynamically selects either CBR or RI for each target case, taking into consideration similarities and consistencies of previous cases. We apply this method to three medical diagnosis datasets and one credit analysis dataset in order to demonstrate that TSFCR outperforms the genuine CBR and RI.

In order to determine new settings of key process variables optimally, a new rule induction method through a historical data is proposed without using an explicit functional model between process and quality variables. First, a partial least square is used to reduce the dimensionality of the process variables. Then new process settings that yield the best quality variable are identified by sequentially partitioning the reduced latent variable space using a patient rule induction method. The proposed method is illustrated with a case study obtained from steel-making processes. We also show, through simulation, that the proposed method gives more stable results than estimating an explicit function even when the form of the function is known in advance.

The objective of this study is to develop a knowledge-based scheduler applying simulation and knowledge base. This study utilizes a machine induction to build knowledge base which enables knowledge acquisition without domain expert. In this study, the best job dispatching rule for each order is selected according to the specifications of the order information. And these results are built to the fact base and knowledge base using the attribute-oriented induction method and simulation. When a new order enters in the developed system, the scheduler retrieves the knowledge base in order to find a matching record. If there is a matching record, the scheduling will be carried out by using the job dispatching rule saved in the knowledge base. Otherwise the best rule will be added to the knowledge base as a new record after scheduling to all the rules. When all these above steps finished the system will furnish a learning function.
