Decision tree learning involves growing a decision tree from training data to predict target variables. The ID3 algorithm uses a top-down greedy search to build decision trees by selecting the attribute at each node that best splits the data, measured by information gain. It calculates information gain for candidate attributes to determine the attribute that provides the greatest reduction in entropy when used to split the data. The attribute with the highest information gain becomes the decision node. The process then recurses on the sublists produced by each branch.

A Decision Tree Based Classifier for Classification & Prediction of Diseasesijsrd.com
In this paper, we are proposing a modified algorithm for classification. This algorithm is based on the concept of the decision trees. The proposed algorithm is better then the previous algorithms. It provides more accurate results. We have tested the proposed method on the example of patient data set. Our proposed methodology uses greedy approach to select the best attribute. To do so the information gain is used. The attribute with highest information gain is selected. If information gain is not good then again divide attributes values into groups. These steps are done until we get good classification/misclassification ratio. The proposed algorithms classify the data sets more accurately and efficiently.
Decision trees classify instances by starting at the root node and moving through the tree recursively according to attribute tests at each node, until a leaf node determining the class label is reached. They work by splitting the training data into purer partitions based on the values of predictor attributes, using an attribute selection measure like information gain to choose the splitting attributes.

Applications of artificial Intelligence in Mechanical Engineering.pdfAtif Razi
Historically, mechanical engineering has relied heavily on human expertise and empirical methods to solve complex problems. With the introduction of computer-aided design (CAD) and finite element analysis (FEA), the field took its first steps towards digitization. These tools allowed engineers to simulate and analyze mechanical systems with greater accuracy and efficiency. However, the sheer volume of data generated by modern engineering systems and the increasing complexity of these systems have necessitated more advanced analytical tools, paving the way for AI.
AI offers the capability to process vast amounts of data, identify patterns, and make predictions with a level of speed and accuracy unattainable by traditional methods. This has profound implications for mechanical engineering, enabling more efficient design processes, predictive maintenance strategies, and optimized manufacturing operations. AI-driven tools can learn from historical data, adapt to new information, and continuously improve their performance, making them invaluable in tackling the multifaceted challenges of modern mechanical engineering.

Comparative analysis between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquapon...bijceesjournal
The aquaponic system of planting is a method that does not require soil usage. It is a method that only needs water, fish, lava rocks (a substitute for soil), and plants. Aquaponic systems are sustainable and environmentally friendly. Its use not only helps to plant in small spaces but also helps reduce artificial chemical use and minimizes excess water use, as aquaponics consumes 90% less water than soil-based gardening. The study applied a descriptive and experimental design to assess and compare conventional and reconstructed aquaponic methods for reproducing tomatoes. The researchers created an observation checklist to determine the significant factors of the study. The study aims to determine the significant difference between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquaponics systems propagating tomatoes in terms of height, weight, girth, and number of fruits. The reconstructed aquaponics system’s higher growth yield results in a much more nourished crop than the traditional aquaponics system. It is superior in its number of fruits, height, weight, and girth measurement. Moreover, the reconstructed aquaponics system is proven to eliminate all the hindrances present in the traditional aquaponics system, which are overcrowding of fish, algae growth, pest problems, contaminated water, and dead fish.
Electric vehicle and photovoltaic advanced roles in enhancing the financial p...IJECEIAES
Climate change's impact on the planet forced the United Nations and governments to promote green energies and electric transportation. The deployments of photovoltaic (PV) and electric vehicle (EV) systems gained stronger momentum due to their numerous advantages over fossil fuel types. The advantages go beyond sustainability to reach financial support and stability. The work in this paper introduces the hybrid system between PV and EV to support industrial and commercial plants. This paper covers the theoretical framework of the proposed hybrid system including the required equation to complete the cost analysis when PV and EV are present. In addition, the proposed design diagram which sets the priorities and requirements of the system is presented. The proposed approach allows setup to advance their power stability, especially during power outages. The presented information supports researchers and plant owners to complete the necessary analysis while promoting the deployment of clean energy. The result of a case study that represents a dairy milk farmer supports the theoretical works and highlights its advanced benefits to existing plants. The short return on investment of the proposed approach supports the paper's novelty approach for the sustainable electrical system. In addition, the proposed system allows for an isolated power setup without the need for a transmission line which enhances the safety of the electrical network
2. Decision tree learning is a method for approximating
discrete-valued target functions, in which the learned
function is represented by a decision tree.

3. DECISION TREE REPRESENTATION
FIGURE: A
decision tree for the
concept PlayTennis.
An example is
classified by sorting
it through the tree to
the appropriate leaf
node, then returning
the classification
associated with this
leaf
3
4. 4
• Decision trees classify instances by sorting them down the tree from the root to
some leaf node, which provides the classification of the instance.
• Each node in the tree specifies a test of some attribute of the instance, and each
branch descending from that node corresponds to one of the possible values for
this attribute.
• An instance is classified by starting at the root node of the tree, testing the
attribute specified by this node, then moving down the tree branch corresponding
to the value of the attribute in the given example. This process is then repeated
for the subtree rooted at the new node.
5. 5
• Decision trees represent a disjunction of conjunctions of constraints on the
attribute values of instances.
• Each path from the tree root to a leaf corresponds to a conjunction of attribute
tests, and the tree itself to a disjunction of these conjunctions
For example,
The decision tree shown in above figure corresponds to the expression
(Outlook = Sunny 𝖠 Humidity = Normal)
𝗏
𝗏
(Outlook = Overcast)
(Outlook = Rain 𝖠 Wind = Weak)
6. 6
APPROPRIATE PROBLEMS FOR
DECISION TREE LEARNING
Decision tree learning is generally best suited to problems with the following
characteristics:
1. Instances are represented by attribute-value pairs – Instances are described by
a fixed set of attributes and their values
2. The target function has discrete output values – The decision tree assigns a
Boolean classification (e.g., yes or no) to each example. Decision tree methods
easily extend to learning functions with more than two possible output values.
3. Disjunctive descriptions may be required
7. 7
4. The training data may contain errors – Decision tree learning methods are
robust to errors, both errors in classifications of the training examples and errors
in the attribute values that describe these examples.
5. The training data may contain missing attribute values – Decision tree
methods can be used even when some training examples have unknown values
• Decision tree learning has been applied to problems such as learning to classify
medical patients by their disease, equipment malfunctions by their cause, and
loan applicants by their likelihood of defaulting on payments.
• Such problems, in which the task is to classify examples into one of a discrete set
of possible categories, are often referred to as classification problems.
8. 8
THE BASIC DECISION TREE LEARNING
ALGORITHM
• Most algorithms that have been developed for learning decision trees are
variations on a core algorithm that employs a top-down, greedy search through the
space of possible decision trees. This approach is exemplified by the ID3
algorithm and its successor C4.5
9. 9
What is the ID3 algorithm?
• ID3 stands for Iterative Dichotomiser 3
• ID3 is a precursor to the C4.5Algorithm.
• The ID3 algorithm was invented by Ross Quinlan in 1975
• Used to generate a decision tree from a given data set by employing a top-down,
greedy search, to test each attribute at every node of the tree.
• The resulting tree is used to classify future samples.
10. 10
ID3 algorithm
ID3(Examples, Target_attribute,Attributes)
Examples are the training examples. Target_attribute is the attribute whose value is to be predicted
by the tree. Attributes is a list of other attributes that may be tested by the learned decision tree.
Returns a decision tree that correctly classifies the given Examples.
Create a Root node for the tree
If all Examples are positive, Return the single-node tree Root, with label = +
If all Examples are negative, Return the single-node tree Root, with label = -
If Attributes is empty, Return the single-node tree Root, with label = most common value of
Target_attribute in Examples
11. 11
Otherwise Begin
A← the attribute fromAttributes that best* classifies Examples
The decision attribute for Root ←A
For each possible value, vi, ofA,
Add a new tree branch below Root, corresponding to the testA= vi
Let Examples vi, be the subset of Examples that have value vi for A
If Examples vi , is empty
Then below this new branch add a leaf node with label = most common value of
Target_attribute in Examples
Else below this new branch add the subtree
ID3(Examples vi, Targe_tattribute,Attributes – {A}))
End
Return Root
* The best attribute is the one with highest information gain
12. 12
Which Attribute Is the Best Classifier?
• The central choice in the ID3 algorithm is selecting which attribute to test at each
node in the tree.
• A statistical property called information gain that measures how well a given
attribute separates the training examples according to their target classification.
• ID3 uses information gain measure to select among the candidate attributes at
each step while growing the tree.
13. ENTROPY MEASURES HOMOGENEITY OF EXAMPLES
• To define information gain, we begin by defining a measure called entropy.
Entropy measures the impurity of a collection of examples.
• Given a collection S, containing positive and negative examples of some target
concept, the entropy of S relative to this Boolean classification is
Where,
p+ is the proportion of positive examples in S
p- is the proportion of negative examples in S.
13
14. Example: Entropy
• Suppose S is a collection of 14 examples of some boolean concept, including 9
positive and 5 negative examples. Then the entropy of S relative to this boolean
classification is
14
15. 15
• The entropy is 0 if all members of S belong to the same class
• The entropy is 1 when the collection contains an equal number of positive and
negative examples
• If the collection contains unequal numbers of positive and negative examples, the
entropy is between 0 and 1
17. INFORMATION GAIN MEASURES THE EXPECTED
REDUCTION IN ENTROPY
• Information gain, is the expected reduction in entropy caused by partitioning the
examples according to this attribute.
• The information gain, Gain(S, A) of an attribute A, relative to a collection of
examples S, is defined as

Example: Information gain
Let, Values(Wind) = {Weak, Strong}
S
SWeak
SStrong
= [9+, 5−]
= [6+, 2−]
= [3+, 3−]
Information gain of attribute Wind:
Gain(S, Wind) = Entropy(S) − 8/14 Entropy (SWeak) − 6/14 Entropy (SStrong)
= 0.94 – (8/14)* 0.811 – (6/14) *1.00
= 0.048

An Illustrative Example
• To illustrate the operation of ID3, consider the learning task represented by the
training examples of below table.
• Here the target attribute PlayTennis, which can have values yes or no for
different days.
• Consider the first step through the algorithm, in which the topmost node of the
decision tree is created.
20. 20
Day Outlook Temperature Humidity Wind PlayTennis
D1 Sunny Hot High Weak No
D2 Sunny Hot High Strong No
D3 Overcast Hot High Weak Yes
D4 Rain Mild High Weak Yes
D5 Rain Cool Normal Weak Yes
D6 Rain Cool Normal Strong No
D7 Overcast Cool Normal Strong Yes
D8 Sunny Mild High Weak No
D9 Sunny Cool Normal Weak Yes
D10 Rain Mild Normal Weak Yes
D11 Sunny Mild Normal Strong Yes
D12 Overcast Mild High Strong Yes
D13 Overcast Hot Normal Weak Yes
D14 Rain Mild High Strong No
21. ID3 determines the information gain for each candidate attribute (i.e., Outlook,
Temperature, Humidity, and Wind), then selects the one with highest information
gain

= 0.246
= 0.151
= 0.048
The information gain values for all four attributes are
• Gain(S, Outlook)
• Gain(S, Humidity)
• Gain(S, Wind)
• Gain(S, Temperature) = 0.029
• According to the information gain measure, the Outlook attribute provides the
best prediction of the target attribute, PlayTennis, over the training examples.
Therefore, Outlook is selected as the decision attribute for the root node, and
branches are created below the root for each of its possible values i.e., Sunny,
Overcast, and Rain.
