ABSTRACT
Machine Learning aims to generate classifying expressions simple enough to be understood easily by the human. There are many machine learning approaches available for classification. Among which decision tree learning is one of the most popular classification algorithms. In this paper we propose a systematic approach based on decision tree which is used to automatically determine the patient’s post–operative recovery status. Decision Tree structures are constructed, using data mining methods and then are used to classify discharge decisions.
