The performance of the DXCS system on continuous-valued inputs in stationary and dynamic environments

XCS is widely accepted as one of the most reliable Michigan-style learning classifier system for data mining. Many studies found that XCS is able to provide good generalization using a ternary representation for binary inputs as well as interval representation for continuous-valued inputs. Since distributed data mining is becoming more popular due to massive data sets spread across a network at many organizations, we have proposed an XCS system for distributed data mining called DXCS. DXCS has been tested on binary inputs. The results showed that DXCS does not only achieve as good performance as the centralized XCS system, but also reduces data transmission in the network. In this paper, we further examine DXCS with real-valued inputs in stationary and dynamic environments
