public class M5Rules

extends M5Base

Generates a decision list for regression problems using separate-and-conquer. In each iteration it builds an model tree using M5 and makes the "best" leaf into a rule. Reference:\n\n" M. Hall, G. Holmes, E. Frank (1999). "Generating Rule Sets from Model Trees". Proceedings of the Twelfth Australian Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence, Sydney, Australia. Springer-Verlag, pp. 1-12.

Valid options are:

-U
Use unsmoothed predictions.

-R
Build regression tree/rule rather than model tree/rule -M
Minimum number of objects per leaf.

-N
Turns pruning off.
