abstract = "In this paper methods for performing classification
using Genetic Programming (GP) on datasets with nominal
attributes are developed and evaluated. The two methods
developed included the splitting of GP program
execution based upon the value of a nominal attribute
(execution branching), and the conversion of a nominal
attribute to a continuous or binary attribute (numeric
conversion). These two methods of using nominal
attributes are tested against six datasets containing
either nominal and continuous attributes or nominal
only attributes.
Results show that the use of the methods developed in
this paper allow classifiers trained with GP to perform
accurate classification of datasets containing nominal
attributes. When compared to other well-known methods
of classification the GP method is capable of
classifying one of six datasets more accurately than
any of the conventional methods tested, and accuracy
close to the best achieved method on 3 other
datasets.",
