Difference between C4.5 and W-J48

Hi. I want to ask.

Is there any differences between C4.5 and W-J48?

Because j48 is the c4.5 algorithm that is implemented in weka as a classifier right.

I dont understand the difference.

Thanks

Hi @koknayaya

From what I learned J48 is for java implementation of C4.5. I don't think there is any difference.

Thanks,

Hi,

I would also say so. From the weka source, as well as as the RapidMiner help text:

"Class for generating a pruned or unpruned C4.5 decision tree. For more information, see Ross Quinlan (1993). C4.5: Programs for Machine Learning. Morgan Kaufmann Publishers, San Mateo, CA."

Best,
David
