informs ® doi 10.1287/ijoc.1030.0047 © 2005 INFORMS Induction of decision trees is a popular and effective method for solving classification problems in data-mining applications. This paper presents a new algorithm for multi-category decision tree induction based on nonlinear programming. This algorithm, termed OC-SEP (Oblique Category SEParation), combines the advantages of several other methods and shows improved generalization performance on a collection of real-world data sets
