A Decision-Theoretic Approach to Data Mining
Elovici, Yuval; Braha, Dan - 2003
In this paper, we develop a decision-theoretic frameworkfor evaluating data mining systems, which employ classification methods, in terms of their utility in decision-making. The decision-theoretic model provides an economic perspective on the value of â extracted knowledge,â in terms of its...

Utility Guided Pattern Mining
Jagannath, Sandhya - 2004
This work is an initial exploration of the use of the decision-theoretic concept of utility to guide pattern mining. We present the use of utility functions as against thresholds and constraints as the mechanism to express user preferences and formulate several pattern mining problems that use...
