Lloyd\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book explores model selection using decision trees based on discretized data, and the accompanying implications this has for decision-makers. Model selection is a non-trivial exercise with a large impact on decision-making. An information criterion for selecting between competing decision tree models is presented along with a method for quantifying the opportunity costs of choosing a specific decision tree. After the initial information criterion development a real world example from an American insurance company call center is presented. The example includes the development of a program to automate data discretization, decision tree creation, and decision tree selection. A decision tree is chosen and critically analyzed from a managerial decision-making point of view. Actual call center performance data is used as input data and results are identified and presented in a way that is advantageous to managers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 52\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.11 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 01, 2008\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43159404740671,"sku":"9783836489850","price":147.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/8m-pc6NThk9783836489850.webp?v=1776998243","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/improved-decision-making-in-data-mining-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
