I have data with 95 numeric variables and 5 categorical variables. My Y has 2 values. I built a decision tree and my accuracy was 81.8%. Then I created 3 new variables as follows. It improved accuracy to 84.3%



  1. Normalize numeric variables and for training data, find mean vector for Y=1 and Y=0

  2. for each data point, find euclidean distance from each mean vector - distance0 and distance1

  3. third variable will be 0 if distance0 is <= distance1

I was wondering if there is any other new variables that i could create to improve the accuracy



I used a decision tree as it is fast to build and gives me indication whether a newly created variable is useful or not.



Please let me know if you have any thoughts
