    Bias in information-based measures in decision tree induction (1994)
    Springer
    Machine learning 15 (1994), S. 321-329 
    Details
    ISSN: 0885-6125
    Keywords: Decision trees ; noise ; induction ; unbiased attribute selection ; information-based measures
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Computer Science
    Notes: Abstract A fresh look is taken at the problem of bias in information-based attribute selection measures, used in the induction of decision trees. The approach uses statistical simulation techniques to demonstrate that the usual measures such as information gain, gain ratio, and a new measure recently proposed by Lopez de Mantaras (1991) are all biased in favour of attributes with large numbers of values. It is concluded that approaches which utilise the chi-square distribution are preferable because they compensate automatically for differences between attributes in the number of levels they take.
