Abstract

In the process of searching classification rules for multivariate categorical data, it is crucial to find a quick start to locate the combination of levels of input and response variables which can contribute to the most correct classification rate for the response variable. Fisher’s linear discriminant function is proposed to select some important input-variable candidates; then, correspondence analysis is used to ascertain that the level of candidates is closely related to the appropriate level of response variable. The closest linkage between input variable and response variables is chosen as the rule for each input-variable candidate. The algorithm is applied to the hospital data of patients whose CT scan diagnosis awaits a decision. The result shows that my algorithm is not only quicker than an exhaustive search but the result is also identical to the optimum solution by exhaustive search in terms of the correct classification rate. The correct classification rate is about 80%. Finally, two parallel coordinate plots of the 20% mistakenly classified data and the corresponding correctly classified data are compared, showing their mutual confounding and explaining why the correct classification rate cannot be further improved.
