Abstract

LBR has demonstrated outstanding classification accuracy. However, it has high computational overheads when large numbers of instances are classified from a single training set. We compare LBR and the tree-augmented Bayesian classifier, and present a new heuristic LBR classifier that combines elements of the two. It requires less computation than LBR, but demonstrates similar prediction accuracy.
