Most existing approaches do not particularly deal with data instances matched by more than one rule, which results in restricted performance. We present a two-phase multiobjective evolutionary algorithm which first aims at searching decent rules and then takes the rule interaction into account to produce the final rule sets. The algorithm incorporates the concept of Pareto dominance to deal with trade-off relations in both phases. Through computational experiments, the proposed algorithm shows competitive to the state-of-the-art. We also study the effect of a niching mechanism. © 2010 IEEE.Classification rules; Computational experiment; Multi objective; Multi objective evolutionary algorithms; One-rule; Pareto dominance; Rule set; Artificial intelligence; Data mining; Multiobjective optimization; Evolutionary algorithmsconference paper10.1109/CEC.2010.55865232-s2.0-79959480959
