Decision rulesWhether the SST is highDecision attributesLearning accuracy

Rule A: If North American polar vortex intensity index ≤2992.602YESNorth American polar vortex intensity index2/2 = 100.00%

Rule B: If North American polar vortex intensity index >2992.602 and W-shaped index of North Atlantic-European circulation >24.333YESNorth American polar vortex intensity index, W-shaped index of North Atlantic-European circulation2/3 = 66.67%

Rule C: If North American polar vortex intensity index >2992.602 and W-shaped index of North Atlantic-European circulation ≤24.333 and north Africa-North Atlantic-North America subtropical high area index ≤2.62NONorth American polar vortex intensity index, W-shaped index of North Atlantic-European circulation, North Africa-North Atlantic-North America subtropical high area index20/20 = 100.00%

Rule D: If North American polar vortex intensity index >2992.602 and W-shaped index of North Atlantic-European circulation ≤24.333 and (North Africa-North Atlantic-North America subtropical high area index >2.62 and North Africa-North Atlantic-North America subtropical high area index ≤3.803)YESNorth American polar vortex intensity index, W-shaped index of North Atlantic-European circulation, North Africa-North Atlantic-North America subtropical high area index2/2 = 100.00%
