See5 icon New in Release 2.08

Differential misclassification costs
See5/C5.0's handling of misclassification costs has been revised, particularly when the application has more than two classes. Decision trees are pruned more carefully, and the confidence of predictions is now calculated differently.

Faster rulesets
Rulesets are now generated more quickly, especially for large applications. For example, the time to generate a ruleset for one dataset with 750,000 cases was reduced by more than 10%.

Bug fix: pruning
A minor bug that could affect pruning of decision trees has been corrected. The problem could arise in applications with many attributes and a large number of missing values. (This bug only trivially affected the output of See5/C5.0 and had no noticeable impact on the trees' predictive accuracy.)
