Abstract

We show that finding optimal discretization of instances of decision tables with two attributes with real values and binary decisions is computationally hard. This is done by abstracting the problem in such a way that it regards partitioning points in the plane into regions, subject to certain minimality restrictions, and proving them to be NP-hard. We also propose a new method to find optimal discretizations.
