The final method will use a variant of the weight of evidence measure,
described in
, to vote. The method there
cannot be used directly, since the weight of evidence must be
calculated or given in the rules for each attribute value describing a
class. The rules available from RGEN have accuracies and numbers for
the combination of several attributes, and not for each attribute
alone. We will instead use the J-measure from Equation
as
shown in Figure
.

will be equal to the accuracy of the current rule. will be given in the rule file as well, and is common for all rules with the same decision.
