Description

The book presents an axiomatic approach to the problems of prediction, classification, and statistical learning.

Using methodologies from axiomatic decision theory, and, in particular, the authors' case-based decision theory, the present studies attempt to ask what inductive conclusions can be derived from existing databases.

It is shown that simple consistency rules lead to similarity-weighted aggregation, akin to kernel-based methods.

It is suggested that the similarity function be estimated from the data.

The incorporation of rule-based reasoning is discussed.
