Abstract
A decision tree-based system for learning from numeric data is describ ed. Results from linear algebra (pseudoinverse matrices) help the syst em to generate decision trees where the nodes are represented by linea r threshold units minimizing the mean square error. The system's capab ility to provide good classifications with small decision trees is dem onstrated on artificial and benchmark data.
