Abstract

Immune algorithm is a global optimal algorithms based on the biological immune theory. In this paper, a novel immune algorithm is proposed for classification rule discovery. The idea of immunity is mainly realized through two steps based on reasonably selecting vaccines, i.e., a vaccination and an immune selection. Experimental results show that immune algorithm performs better than RISE with respect to predictive accuracy and rule list mined simplicity.
