M.LeBlanc & John Crowley (1992) developed a method for obtaining tree-structured

relative risk estimate using the log-rank statistic for splitting and need between node dissimilarity in a puonning algorithm.

H.Ahn & W.Y. Loh (1994) yields a piece wise-linear Cox proportional hazard

model using curvature detection tests rather than exhaustive serach which evaluate all possible splits in finding splits to reduce computing time.

W.Y. Loh & Y.S shin (1997) derived split selection methods for classification tree

in Statistica Sinica.

QUEST

: QUEST is a new classification tree algorithm derived

from the FACT method. It can be used with

univariate splits or linear combination splits.

Unlike FACT, QUEST uses cross-validation pruning.

It distinguishes from other decision tree classifiers is

that when used with univariate splits the classifier

performs approximately unbiased variable selection.

higher level units described by symbolic

data

2. To extract new knowledge from a database

by using a standard data table 3. Working on higher level units called concepts

From data mining to knowledge mining

1. A SDA needs two level of units

The first level : individual

The second level : concepts

2. A Concept is described by using the description

of class of individuals of its extent

3. The description of a concept must express the

variation of the individuals of its extent

4. Output of SDA provide new symbolic objects

associated with new categories, categories of

2. Define a set of categories based on the categorical
