摘要
A brief overview of the history of the development of decision tree induction algorithms is followed by a review of techniques for dealing with missing attribute values in the operation of these methods. The technique of dynamic path generation is described in the context of tree-based classification methods. The waste of data which can result from casewise deletion of missing values in statistical algorithms is discussed and alternatives proposed.
