Application of a Improved C4.5 Algorithm in Performance Analysis

Article Preview

Abstract:

The application of data mining technology in education, finding the hidden, useful information from a large number of data, will contribute to the reform and development of education. This article presents an improved C4.5 algorithm, which only use simple add, subtract, multiply and divide operations instead of the logarithm of original C4.5 algorithm. This algorithm greatly improves the operation speed and the decision tree generation efficiency, and its application to the analysis of students' achievement, implied to identify the factors affecting the performance, promotes the improvement of teaching quality.
