Abstract

Finding influential factors from given clustering result is a typical data science problem. Genetic Algorithm based method is proposed to derive influential factors and its performance is compared with two conventional methods, Classification and Regression Tree (CART) and Chi-Squared Automatic Interaction Detection (CHAID), by using Dunn’s index measure. To extract the influential factors of preference towards political parties in South Korea, the vote result of 18th presidential election and ‘Demographic’, ‘Health and Welfare’, ‘Economic’ and ‘Business’ related data were used. Based on the analysis, reverse engineering was implemented. Implementation of reverse engineering based approach for influential factor analysis can provide new set of influential variables which can present new insight towards the data mining field.
