"""
Induction of rules works by finding a rule that covers some learning instances,
removing these instances, and repeating this until all instances are covered.
Rules are scored by heuristics such as impurity of class distribution of
covered instances. The module includes common rule-learning algorithms,
and allows for replacing rule search strategies, scoring and other
components.

Ordered CN2SD inducer that constructs a list of ordered rules. To

In this setting, ordered rule induction refers exclusively to
finding best rule conditions and assigning the majority class in the
rule head (target class is set to None). To later predict instances,
rules will be regarded as unordered.
Notes
-----
A weighted covering algorithm is applied, in which subsequently
induced rules also represent interesting and sufficiently large
subgroups of the population. Covered positive examples are not
deleted from the learning set, rather their weight is reduced.
The algorithm demonstrates how classification rule learning
(predictive induction) can be adapted to subgroup discovery, a task
at the intersection of predictive and descriptive induction.
