Abstract
We applied inductive classification techniques to data collected in a Boeing plant with the goal of uncovering possible flaws in the manufacturing process. This application led us to explore two aspects of classical decision-tree induction: (1) Preprocessing and postprocessing and (2) brute-force induction. For preprocessing and postprocessing, much of our effort was focused on the pre-processing of raw data to make it suitable for induction and the post-processing of learned rules to make them useful to factory personnel. For brute-force induction, in contrast with standard methods, which perform a greedy search of the space of decision trees, we formulated an algorithm that conducts an exhaustive, depth-bounded search for accurate predictive rules. We demonstrate the efficacy of our approach with specific examples of learned rules and by quantitative comparisons with decision-tree algorithms (C4 and CART). 3 This research was funded in part by a Boeing Computer Services contract wi...
