RIONA: A Classifier Combining Rule Induction and k-NN Method with Automated Selection of Optimal Neighbourhood

Abstract

The article describes a method combining two widely-used empirical approaches: rule induction and instance-based learning. In our algorithm ( RIONA ) decision is predicted not on the basis of the whole support set of all rules matching a test case, but the support set restricted to a neighbourhood of a test case. The size of the optimal neighbourhood is automatically induced during the learning phase. The empirical study shows the interesting fact that it is enough to consider a small neighbourhood to preserve classification accuracy. The combination of k-NN and a rule-based algorithm results in a significant acceleration of the algorithm using all minimal rules. We study the significance of different components of the presented method and compare its accuracy to well-known methods.
