Abstract—This investigation tried to compare the features
that influence vehicle style with Chi-square test and the
representative decision tree method. This study has three
outcomes. First of all, the investigation using Chi-square test
could find evidence of the correlation between car style and
some design features. Secondly, for the goal to improve
accuracy, this investigation created a method of the
representative decision tree. It built 50 decision trees to
calculate accuracy to compare and to choose the best one tree.
The third, although vehicle style was related to some design
features, there were still differences in the chosen design
features between the representative decision tree method and
Chi-square test. The ranking of importance for the design
features correlate with the vehicle style was not the same.
Finally, we attempted to use design knowledge in this study to
create a series of 3d modeling concepts with different vehicle
design styles.
Index Terms—Representative decision tree, chi-square test,
design features, vehicle style.
