Abstract
Fuzzy decision trees can be used to generate fuzzy rules from training instances to deal with forecasting and classification problems. We propose a new method to construct fuzzy decision trees from relational database systems and to generate fuzzy rules from the constructed fuzzy decision trees for estimating null values, where the weights of attributes are used to derive the values of certainty factors of the generated fuzzy rules. We use the concept of "coefficient of determination" of the statistics to derive the weights of the attributes in relational database systems and use the normalized weights of the attributes to derive the values of certainty factors of the generated fuzzy rules. Furthermore, we also use regression equations of the statistics to construct a complete fuzzy decision tree for generating better fuzzy rules. The proposed method obtains a higher average estimated accuracy rate than the existing methods for estimating null values in relational database systems.
