摘要：Data quantization methods for continuous attributes play an extremely important role in artificial intelligence, data mining and machine learning because discrete values of attributes are required in most classification methods. In this paper, we present a supervised statistical data quantization method. It defines a quantization criterion based on the chi-square statistic to discover accurate merging intervals. In addition, a heuristic quantization algorithm is proposed to achieve a satisfying quantization result with the aim to improve the performance of inductive learning algorithms. Empirical experiments on UCI real data sets show that our proposed algorithm generates a better quantization scheme that improves the classification accuracy of C4.5 decision tree than existing algorithms
