Evolutionary Algorithms in Decision Tree Induction

Abstract

In the last two decades, computational enhancements highly contributed to the increase in popularity of DTI algorithms. This cause the successful use of Decision Tree Induction (DTI) using recursive partitioning algorithms in many diverse areas such as radar signal classification, character recognition, remote sensing, medical diagnosis, expert systems, and speech recognition, to name only a few. But recursive partitioning and DTI are two faces of
