  Abstract

We proposed the RPA (Recursive Partition Averaging) method in order to improve the storage requirement and classification rate of the Memory Based Reasoning. This algorithm recursively partitions the pattern space until each hyperrectangle contains only those patterns of the same class, then it computes the average values of patterns in each hyperrectangle to extract a representative. Also we have used the mutual information between the features and classes as weights for features to improve the classification performance. The proposed algorithm used 30~90% of memory space that is needed in the k-NN (k-Nearest Neighbors) classifier, and showed a comparable classification performance to the k-NN. Also, by reducing the number of stored patterns, it showed an excellent result in terms of classification time when we compare it to the k-NN.
