Abstract

Real world data consists of lot of impurities. Entropy measure will help to handle impurities in a better way. Here, data selection is done by using Naïve Bayes’ theorem. The sample which has posterior probability value greater than that of the threshold value is selected. C5.0 decision tree classifier is taken as base and modified the Gain calculation function using Tsallis entropy and Association function. The proposed classifier model provides more accuracy and smaller tree for general and Medical dataset. Precision value obtained for Medical dataset is more than that of existing method.
