We present a new decision tree classification algorithm using rough set theory that can induce classification rules, the construction of which is based on core attributes and relationship between objects. Although decision trees have been widely used in machine learning and artificial intelligence, little research has focused on improving classification quality. We propose a new decision tree construction algorithm that can be simplified and provides an improved classification quality. We also compare the new algorithm with the ID3 algorithm in terms of the number of rules.
