The paper proposes an extension for well-known COBWEB algorithm for different symbolic variable types. This extension allows to apply symbolic variables for category utility evaluation. Main body of the paper presents how to adapt category utility for different symbolic variable types. Example shows an illustrative example of the proposed method.References
