Reproducibility Variable Result LLM Response
Research Type Experimental We provide experiments over a set of benchmarks (Lomax and Vadera 2013) showing that our MDP approach scales well over these benchmarks.

Pseudocode No The paper describes the algorithms and their equations (1-5, 7-12) in narrative text and within equations, but does not present them in a structured pseudocode or algorithm block.
Open Source Code No The paper mentions implementation languages for various methods, including their own in C#, but does not provide concrete access to its source code or state that it is open-source.
Open Datasets Yes We experiments with all domains from the recent cost sensitive survey (Lomax and Vadera 2013; 2011)... Dataset statistics are reported in Table 5.
Dataset Splits Yes We use a standard 80% 20% train-test split.
Hardware Specification Yes The experiments were run on a Windows 10 machine, i5 CPU, and 8GB RAM.
Software Dependencies No The paper mentions software like Weka and programming languages (C#, C, Java) but does not provide specific version numbers for these or any dependent libraries.
Experiment Setup Yes We use a standard 80% 20% train-test split. For the larger datasets Heart, Wine and Hepatitis, we learned decision trees only over subsets of the 10 most costly attributes together with the low cost attributes.
