Abstract

This paper describes the inductive learning methods for generating decision rules in decision support systems. Three similarity-based learning systems are studied based on: (1) the AQ-Star method, (2) the Tree-Induction method, and (3) the Probabilistic Learning method. Loan evaluation examples and empirical data are used as a basis for comparing these inductive learning methods on their algorithmic characteristics and decision support performance.
