TL;DR
Surprisingly, using this simple transformation the model tree inducer M5′, based on Quinlan's M5, generates more accurate classifiers than the state-of-the-art decision tree learner C5.0, particularly when most of the attributes are numeric.

C4.5: Programs for Machine Learning
23,665 Citations1992J. R. Quinlan
A complete guide to the C4.5 system as implemented in C for the UNIX environment, which starts from simple core learning methods and shows how they can be elaborated and extended to deal with typical problems such as missing data and over hitting.
Programs for Machine Learning

Machine LearningVery Simple Classification Rules Perform Well on Most Commonly Used Datasets
1,798 Citations1993Robert C. Holte
On most datasets studied, the best of very simple rules that classify examples on the basis of a single attribute is as accurate as the rules induced by the majority of machine learning systems.

70 Citations1995Padhraic Smyth, Alexander Gray +1 more
A hybrid scheme which uses decision trees to find the relevant structure in high-dimensional classification problems and then uses local kernel density estimates to fit smooth probability estimates within this structure is discussed.
Kernel Regression Trees
6 Citations1997Luı́s Torgo
A novel method for learning in domains with continuous target variables that integrates regression trees with kernel regression models, which reveals the superiority of kernel regression trees when compared to the two individual approaches.
