Homework 2 Implementation Details
***As announced in class when the assignment was handed
out, problem #2 of the programming portion of the assignment has now
been promoted to an "extra credit" problem. The electronic version of
the assignment has been modified to make that clear.***
***This assignment builds on the code from Assignment 1. You can use
someone else's decision tree induction code as a starting point if you
never got the decision tree code running for Assignment 1. You are
required to acknowledge the original author of the code prominently in
the README file.***
***In grading the programming portion, at most 10 of the 40 points
will be allotted to documentation and readability of the newly added
code.
Data sets:
- PlayTennis - each instance describes the characteristics of a
Sunday morning (the Outlook, Temperature, Humidity and Wind conditions) and
a classification of the morning as one in which tennis can be played or not.
The data format is identical to the one in assignment 1.
- Voting - each instance describers a senator's voting
history for a variety of different bills, and their classification
as Democrat or Republican. The votes are recorded as 'y' for Yea,
'n' for Nay, and '?' for anything else (abstaining, absent, etc.).
