| A generalized algorithm for building classification trees, based on Tsallis q-entropy, is proposed and applied to classification of Polish households with respect to their incomes. Data for 2008 are used. Quality measures for obtained trees are compared for different values of q parameter. A method of choosing the optimum tree is elaborated. |
