In this paper, we use decision trees to establish the decision models for insurance purchases. Five major types of insurances are involved in this study including life, annuity, health, accident, and investment-oriented insurances. Four decision tree methods were used to build the decision models including Chi-square Automatic Interaction Detector (CHAID), Exhaustive Chi-square Automatic Interaction Detector (ECHAID), Classification and Regression Tree (CRT), and Quick-Unbiased-Efficient… Expand

The Development of Discrete Decision Tree Induction for Categorical Data
In decision analysis, decision trees are commonly used as a visual support tool for identifying the best strategy that is most likely to reach a desired goal. A decision tree is a hierarchical… Expand
Application of classification methods to analyze chemicals in drinking water quality
TLDR
This article describes the application of classification decision trees for the analysis of drinking water quality affecting variables and includes discussion about these based on various methods as well as their comparison to reach the best approach for the further analysis about understudy area.

An effective sampling method for decision trees considering comprehensibility and accuracy
Because the target domain of data mining using decision trees usually contains a lot of data, sampling is needed. But selecting proper samples for a given decision tree algorithm is not easy, because… Expand
Modeling and Testing Landslide Hazard Using Decision Tree
TLDR
A decision tree model is proposed for specifying the importance of 21 factors causing the landslides in a wide area of Penang Island, Malaysia which identified slope angle, distance from drainage, surface area, slope aspect, and cross curvature as most important factors. Expand
Reduction of Risk Factors in Risk Assessment: An Identification Tree Approach
TLDR
A variant of decision tree called Identification tree for reducing number of risk factors used in assessment is offered, which uses auto insurance as a case study and employs historical evidences of different vehicles as risk factors. Expand
Performance Comparison of Different OverSampling Rates of Decision Trees for the Class of Higher Error Rate in the Liver Data Set

Tele-market Modelling of Fuzzy Consumer Behaviour
TLDR
This paper attempts to assess the fuzzy actions of buying behaviour from a multinational viewpoint using data that have been collected on consumer risk assessment while attempting to buy a product on the internet. Expand
Improved mining of software complexity data on evolutionary filtered training sets
TLDR
It is argued that a classifier trained by a filtered dataset captures a more general knowledge model and should therefore perform better also on unseen cases and the method uses an ensemble of evolutionary induced decision trees to identify the outliers. Expand
