Abstract

There may be many fuzzy attributes in a fuzzy information system. Different fuzzy attribute has different contribution to classification. More important attributes have more contribution than the others to decision-making. In this paper, based on the importance of the fuzzy condition attributes, a new method generating a fuzzy decision tree is proposed, which uses the important degree of the fuzzy condition attribute with respect to the fuzzy decision attributes to select attributes to expand the branches of a fuzzy decision tree. A comparison between the new method and fuzzy ID3 is provided. It is shown that the new method is more efficient than fuzzy ID3.
