Abstract
This paper reports results of experiments on mass spectrometry database search results produced by Keller et al. This data set describes human proteins. Data mining was conducted using the LERS system. First, the data set was discretized by a cluster analysis algorithm based on agglomerative approach. Then the basic rule set was induced by the LEM2 algorithm. Finally, the rule set was refined using changing rule strength methodology and truncation of the rule set. Our results reach the level of sensitivity and specificity of competing methods. However, our results are explainable since they are in a form of rules and, additionally, we can interpret the role of important features.
