Default Rule Performance

We also have collected results on the usage of the default rule while using Minimum OSR in Tables 12 and 14, which show the percentage of testing observations covered by the default rule when using Minimum OSR (with and without -test, respectively), and Table 13 and 15, which show the prediction accuracies of the default rule on different data sets.

  
Table 12: Mean Coverage (%) of the Default Rule in BruteDL with Minimum OSR (with -test) on Different Data Sets

  

Table 13: Mean Prediction Accuracies (%) of the Default Rule in BruteDL with Minimum OSR (with -test) on Different Data Sets. ``N'' Means the Default Rule is Never Used.

  

Table 14: Mean Coverage (%) of the Default Rule in BruteDL with Minimum OSR (without -test) on Different Data Sets

  

Table 15: Mean Prediction Accuracies (%) of the Default Rule in BruteDL with Minimum OSR (without -test) on Different Data Sets. ``N'' means the default rule is never used.

As can be seen in Table 12 and Table 14, the default rule is rarely used on all the data sets when including Minimum OSR as part of the default strategygif. Most of the testing observations that are not covered by the existing rules in the decision list are classified by the rules learned by the Minimum-OSR.
