Spectroscopic Detection of Caries Lesions

Pseudocode 5

Pseudocode for selecting the set of rules. Here 𝑋 is the set of training samples and MAXRULECOUNT = 5.

SELECT-RULES(𝑋)

(1) // Select the set of rules for given set of samples 𝑋

(2) // Use local variable, set of rules 𝑅

(3)  𝑎=0.0 // Accuracy with current set of rules

(4)  𝑅=∅ // Current set of rules

(5)  for  𝑖=1  to  MAXRULECOUNT

(6)   𝐵 = FIND-NEW-RULE(𝑅, 𝑋)

(7)   𝑏 = CLASSIFY-SAMPLES(𝑅+𝐵, 𝑋) // Classification accuracy

(8)   if  𝑎≥𝑏

(9)    return  𝑅 // New rule did not help

(10) 𝑅 = 𝑅 + 𝐵 // Add new rule to set

(11) 𝑎=𝑏

(12)  return  𝑅
