An efficient construction and application usefulness of rectangle greedy covers

作者:

Highlights:

• Efficient construction methods of a rectangle greedy cover (RGC) are developed.

• The relation between frequent itemsets and exclusive positive subsets is made clear.

• Direct approach is faster than enumeration approach to construct an RGC.

• Empirical classification accuracy of an RGC is comparable to that of SVM.

• The DNF rules obtained by an RGC are shown to be more readable than those by C4.5.
