Abstract. Data mining is a process that combines statistics, artificial intelligence,
mathematics and machine learning to extract data on a large scale in the database. Data
mining is always able to analyze the data so as to find the relevance of data that has a
meaning and have a tendency to check large-scale data stored in the database to find a
meaningful pattern or rules. The increasing availability of data is often not utilized to
provide new knowledge so that large data accumulate is meaningless. The purpose of this
research is to extract the information so as to produce knowledge through the decision
tree and show the accuracy or influence of Iterative Algorithm Dichotomiser 3 which is
used to predict a situation. The classes or attributes in the Iterative Algorithm
Dichotomiser are continuously broken into relative categories. Fuzzy Curve Shoulder
will be used as a function to form the categories of each attribute value. Using a fuzzy
shoulder curve, the dataset is processed using a decision tree that is useful for extracting
large amounts of data and searching for hidden links between multiple potential input
variables with a target variable. The results of this study are decision trees that will
provide predictive data with Iterative Dichotomizer (ID) Algorithm 3.
Keywords: Data mining, Fuzzy Curve Shoulder, Iterative Dichotomizer Algorithm.
1 Introduction
Knowledge Discovery in Database (KDD) is a method to gain knowledge from existing
databases. In the database there are tables-tables related to each other. The knowledge
obtained in the process can be used as a knowledge base for decision making purposes.
Data mining concerns theories, methodologies, and in particular, computer systems for
knowledge extraction or mining from large amounts of data. Data mining is a method to
extract the knowledge and information from a large number data such as incomplete, noisy
and random [1]. Data mining explorers data from within the database to find hidden patterns,
searching for information to predict data. Data Mining techniques are used to examine large
databases as a way to discover new and useful patterns.
The decision tree is considered one of the most popular approaches. In the decision tree
classification consists of a node that forms the root [2]. Decision tree can describe the
