Knowledge discovery from medical data: an empirical study with XCS

Kharbat, Faten; Odeh, Mohammed; Bull, Larry

Abstract

In this chapter we describe the use of a modern learning classifier system to a data mining task. In particular, in collaboration with a medical specialist, we apply XCS to a primary breast cancer data set. Our results indicate more effective knowledge discovery than with C4.5.
