Abstract

We introduce a technique to compute new summary information estimations (information and entropy) for fuzzy sets. Special features for these estimations are investigated. We give an algorithm for determine various information measures for fuzzy sets and fuzzy decision trees. Finally, we are using our estimations for induction of fuzzy decision trees from a group of training examples.

This investigation has been supported by the grant 01M-122 of Fund of Fundamental Researches and grant of Ministry of Education (Republic of Belarus).
