Abstract
Computer-implemented systems and methods for constructing decision trees to predict target values. A method can include receiving data containing descriptive data and target values. The target values are partitioned into groups. A rule induction engine generates a set of rules for each group based upon a set of descriptive data. The rules are configured to predict target values. In a bottom-up manner, a decision tree is generated for each of the groups.
