Abstract. Ensemble methods are popular learning methods that usually increase the predictive accuracy of a classifier though at the cost of interpretability and insight in the deci...
—Much of previous attention on decision trees focuses on the splitting criteria and optimization of tree sizes. The dilemma between overfitting and achieving maximum accuracy is ...
The nearest shrunken centroid classifier uses shrunken centroids as prototypes for each class and test samples are classified to belong to the class whose shrunken centroid is nea...
Rotation Forest is a recently proposed method for building classifier ensembles using independently trained decision trees. It was found to be more accurate than bagging, AdaBoost...
Most current work in data mining assumes that the database is static, and a database update requires rediscovering all the patterns by scanning the entire old and new database. Su...
