This work combines symbolic machine learning and multiscale fractal techniques to generate models that characterize cellular rejection in myocardial biopsies and that can base a diagnosis support system. The models express the knowledge by the features threshold, fractal dimension, lacunarity, number of clusters, spatial percolation and percolation probability, all obtained with myocardial biopsies processing. Models were evaluated and the most significant was the one generated by the C4.5 algorithm for the features spatial percolation and number of clusters. The result is relevant and contributes to the specialized literature since it determines a standard diagnosis protocol. © 2013 Springer.
