| Back-chain Decision Tree Inference | Building Cases | |
Cases can offer an alternative knowledge representation to Decision Trees. Cases can also be used as a Precursor to Decision Trees using a transformation process call Rule Induction.
There are two distinct views for Cases in Knowledge Builder; the standard tabular view and the Rules View.
The tabular view of Cases provides a compact way of expressing tabular decision knowledge whereby each line in the table represents a single decision Case expressed by Columns of Attributes and Decision (final column). This is particularly helpful when a complete "truth table" of all the possible combinations of Attribute values can be generated allowing the developer to systematically assign a decision to each Case. (See Generate Truth Table below)
