Abstract: This paper puts forward a new definition for the comprehensibility of a classification rule. The paper also gives a method for computing a rule’s comprehensibility by using attribute’s information gain. The method of mining classification rules using GA is also analyzed. The experiment on breast cancer statistical data shows that it can find accurate as well as comprehensible rules.

Key words: Classification rules, Genetic algorithm, Information gain, Comprehensible rules
