CT4RDD: Classification trees for research on digital divide

作者:

Highlights:

• We propose CT4RDD, a novel methodology for analysis and modeling of digital divide.

• CT4RDD is based on C4.5, a reputed classification tree algorithm from the AI domain.

• Data from the 2010 Mexican Census are used to create and evaluate our methodology.

• Internet presence in households of cities is represented as a discrete value scale.

• CT4RDD has produced if-then rules describing profiles of digital divide of cities.
