Talk:ID3 algorithm

TDIDT?

I was searching wikipedia for an article on Top Down Induction of Decision Trees. None seems to exist (in English). I don't necessarily think one should exist, but it should at least redirect to this algorithm which is similar. I'm kinda new to the wikipedia thing so I figured I throw this idea out and let someone who knows the procedure better set something up. 128.84.156.178 (talk) 04:22, 16 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The algorithm here is word for word taken from the Mitchell book in references. The article does not clearly suggest this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.46.170.107 (talk • contribs) 09:29, 28 April 2008

I just added a little clarification to align the explanation to the pseudocode. The 11th plague of Egypt (talk) 21:07, 28 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

What is the point of the target_attribute. Shouldn't the algorithm just return the most common label of the renaming examples (+/-) ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.2.162.88 (talk) 06:37, 20 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I got the feeling that the algorithm does nothing for comprehension, it start to focus on trivial useless case where no classification is needed. It doesn't spend any time on stop criterion. AsTeRfr (talk) 16:54, 27 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Formula

The formula isn't followed of explanation about its variables... So its useless for non aware reader. Can someone develop this points ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.114.71.176 (talk) 13:27, 18 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've fixed this using the Douglas D. Dankel II (University of Florida)'s website, for me the Occam razor's page is not at its place, I don't know if we should remove it or move it.AsTeRfr (talk)
