dc.description.abstractTransformation of features is a common task in the data preprocessing stage while solving data mining and classification problems. Many classification algorithms have preference of continual attributes over nominal attributes, and sometimes the distance between different data points cannot be estimated if the values of the attributes are not continual and normalized. The Weight of Evidence has some very desirable properties that make it very useful tool for the transformation of attributes, but unfortunately there are some preconditions that need to be met in order to calculate it. In this paper we propose a modified calculation of the Weight of Evidence that overcomes these preconditions, and additionally makes it usable for test examples that were not present in the training set. The proposed transformation can be used for all supervised learning problems. At the end, we present the results from the proposed transformation and discuss the benefits of the transformed nominal and continual attributes from the PAKDD 2009 dataset. The results show that the proposed transformation contributes towards a better performance in all tested classification algorithms than the method that generates dummy (i.e. binary) variables for each value of the nominal attributes.en_US
