Writing the Article: Scaling classification trees: Reducing the NP-complete problem for binary grouping of classification tree splits to complexity of order n^2log(n)

Abstract. Decision tree is an important tool of data mining. Past approaches used for classification tree were not able to deal with independent categorical variables that had more than thirty different values and assure that the result was optimal (for binary splits). This paper proposes a technique that can be applied to a regression tree with any number of categories’ values. The result of the proposed technique is equivalent as executing the full search of all possible ways of splitting, i.e. (n^2log(n)) possibilities for each categorical variable.
