An associative classifier (AC) is a kind of supervised learning model that uses association rules to assign a target value. The term associative classification was coined by Bing Liu et al., [1] in which the authors defined a model made of rules "whose right-hand side are restricted to the classification class attribute".
Formally, an "ordinary" classifier is some rule, or function, that assigns to a sample x a class label ลท: y ^ = f ( x ) {\displaystyle {\hat {y}}=f(x)} The samples come from some set X (e.g., the set of all documents , or the set of all images ), while the class labels form a finite set Y defined prior to training.
In a classification task, the precision for a class is the number of true positives (i.e. the number of items correctly labelled as belonging to the positive class) divided by the total number of elements labelled as belonging to the positive class (i.e. the sum of true positives and false positives, which are items incorrectly labelled as belonging to the class).
To evaluate a classifier, one compares its output to another reference classification – ideally a perfect classification, but in practice the output of another gold standard test – and cross tabulates the data into a 2×2 contingency table, comparing the two classifications.
C4.5 is an algorithm used to generate a decision tree developed by Ross Quinlan. [1] C4.5 is an extension of Quinlan's earlier ID3 algorithm.The decision trees generated by C4.5 can be used for classification, and for this reason, C4.5 is often referred to as a statistical classifier.
Multi-label classification is a generalization of multiclass classification, which is the single-label problem of categorizing instances into precisely one of several (greater than or equal to two) classes. In the multi-label problem the labels are nonexclusive and there is no constraint on how many of the classes the instance can be assigned to.
A more complex f might give the probability that an item belongs to a certain class. For a two-class classification problem, one can visualize the operation of a linear classifier as splitting a high-dimensional input space with a hyperplane: all points on one side of the hyperplane are classified as "yes", while the others are classified as "no".
