Abstract

This paper introduces a new compaction algorithm for the rules generated by learning classifier systems that overcomes the disadvantages of previous algorithms in complexity, compacted solution size, accuracy and usability. The algorithm is tested on a Wisconsin Breast Cancer Dataset (WBC) which is a well well-known breast cancer datasets from the UCI Machine Learning Repository.
