Genetic Programming for Improved Receiver Operating Characteristics

Genetic programming (GP) can automatically fuse given classifiers of diverse types to produce a combined classifier whose Receiver Operating Characteristics (ROC) are better than [Scott et al.1998b]’s “Maximum Realisable Receiver Operating Characteristics” (MRROC). I.e. better than their convex hull. This is demonstrated on a satellite image processing bench mark using Naive Bayes, Decision Trees (C4.5) and Clementine artificial neural networks.
