A decision rule is an element (piece) of knowledge, usually in the form of a “if-then statement”:
if < Condition > then < Action >
If its Condition is satisfied (i.e., matches a fact in the corresponding database of a given problem) then its Action (e.g., classification or decision making) is performed. See also Markovian Decision Rule.
