Data mining (DM) can be viewed as a result of the natural evolution of information technology. The role of data mining approach is very important in computer science and knowledge engineering. A number of data mining approaches are used for classification. Classification is the process of finding a model that describes and distinguishes data classes or concepts. The decision tree (DT) approach is most useful in the classification problem.
The research work analyses the efficiency of the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) based decision tree algorithms, namely J48, Classification and Regression Tree (CART) and Random Forest.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
