K*: An Instance-based Learner Using an Entropic Distance Measure

Machine Learning Proceedings 1995
Preserved Fulltext
The use of entropy as a distance measure has several benefits. Amongst other things it provides a consistent approach to handling of symbolic attributes, real valued attributes and missing values. The approach of taking all possible transformation paths is discussed. We describe K*, an instance-based learner which uses such a measure, and results are presented which compare favourably with several machine learning algorithms.
