Machine Learning Bias, Statistical Bias, and Statistical Variance of Decision Tree Algorithms
The term "bias" is widely used---and with different meanings---in the fields of machine learning and statistics. This paper clarifies the uses of this term and...
A Communication-Efficient Parallel Algorithm for Decision Tree
Decision tree (and its extensions such as Gradient Boosting Decision Trees and Random Forest) is a widely used machine learning algorithm, due to its practical effectiveness and...
A further comparison of splitting rules for decision-tree induction
One approach to learning classification rules from examples is to build decision trees. A review and comparison paper by Mingers (Mingers, 1989) looked at the first stage of tre...
An instance-weighting method to induce cost-sensitive trees
We introduce an instance-weighting method to induce cost-sensitive trees. It is a generalization of the standard tree induction process where only the initial instance weights d...
Best-first Decision Tree Learning
Decision trees are potentially powerful predictors and explicitly represent the structure of a dataset. Standard decision tree learners such as C4.5 expand nodes in depth-first ...
