The BRL is a generative model that yields a posterior distribution over possible decision lists, which consist of a series of if-then statements that discretize a high-dimensional, multivariate feature space into a series of simple, readily interpretable decision statements. The if statements define a partition of a set of features, and the then statements correspond to the predicted outcome of interest.
According to the authors, their experiments showed that the BRL has predictive accuracy on par with the current top algorithms for prediction in Machine Learning
The BRL is able to be used to produce highly accurate and interpretable medical scoring systems
