Analysis of c4.5 and ID3 Methods in Determining Student Graduation

Abstract

From the performance measurement of the two algorithms that have been done based on the amount of data, it can be concluded that ID3 algorithm has better performance (precision, recall, and accuracy) than C4.5 algorithm. The performance measurement of the two algorithms based on the number of attributes indicates that the ID3 algorithm has better performance (precision, recall, and accuracy) than the C4.5 algorithm. Overall, From the experiments that have been carried out it can be concluded that ID3 has a better performance than C4.5 algorithm. Performance measurement of a data mining algorithm can be done based on several criteria such as accuracy of prediction, speed / efficiency, reliability, scalability and interpretation. In this study the authors suggest using the ID3 algorithm method.
