Consider a training set that contains 100 positive examples and 400 negative
examples. For each of the following candidate rules,
R1: A −→ + (covers 4 positive and 1 negative examples),
R2: B −→ + (covers 30 positive and 10 negative examples),
R3: C −→ + (covers 100 positive and 90 negative examples),
determine which is the best and worst candidate rule according to:
(a) Rule accuracy.
(b) FOIL's information gain
(c) The likelihood ratio statistic.
