Abstract

We describe a data mining model for constructing an optimal diagnostic sequence that assists cost-effective sequential decisions. We use heuristic search, i.e., hill climbing and genetic algorithms (GAs), and the evaluation function of cost-based Mean Accuracy Gain (cMAG), which is provided by SVM classifiers, to find this optimal sequence. GA can find a good sequence because of the ability to escape from local optima.
