TY - JOUR AU - Refai, Mohamed Hayel AU - Yusof, Yuhanis PY - 2013 TI - PARTIAL RULE MATCH FOR FILTERING RULES IN ASSOCIATIVE CLASSIFICATION JF - Journal of Computer Science VL - 10 IS - 4 DO - 10.3844/jcssp.2014.570.577 UR - https://thescipub.com/abstract/jcssp.2014.570.577 AB - In this study, we propose a new method to enhance the accuracy of Modified Multi-class Classification based on Association Rule (MMCAR) classifier. We introduce a Partial Rule Match Filtering (PRMF) method that allows a minimal match of the items in the rule’s body in order for the rule to be added into a classifier. Experiments on Reuters-21578 data sets are performed in order to evaluate the effectiveness of PRMF in MMCAR. Results show that the MMCAR classifier performs better as compared to the chosen competitors.
