I created a simple module to do an inductive learning.

GitHub: Inductive Learning

Inductive Learning is a very simple algorithm.

It generates some patterns to match with training data, and calculate the score and select the best pattern.

Description

Question is below.

We want to predict whether the stock price of company x will be up or down tomorrow.

To simplify the question, the stock price of company x tomorrow only depends on whether the stock price of company a, …, j is up or down today.

Then, the data can be described as below. 1 means UP, and 0 means DOWN.

# a b c d e f g h i j x
0 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
...

This inductive learning generates a pattern like below, and compare it with each training data, and calculate the score.

Score represents how many data the pattern can match with.

# a b c d e f g h i j
2 2 1 2 1 2 0 2 2 2

2 is like a wild card to match both 0 and 1.

This algorithm generates some patterns like above, and select the pattern having the best score.

Usage

It is easy to use.

  1. Give training data to fit().
  2. Give test data to predict().
  3. You can get the best pattern and the accuracy.

For more detail, please check example.js.

const il = new InductiveLearning(10000);

il.fit(teachers);
console.log(il.predict(testData));
// e.g. { result: [ 2, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2 ], accuracy: 0.78 }
