Abstract. Ensembles are often capable of greater predictive performance than any of their individual classifiers. Despite the need for classifiers to make different kinds of err...
Combining a set of classifiers has often been exploited to improve the classification performance. Accurate as well as diverse base classifiers are prerequisite to construct a good...
Abstract. One of the more challenging problems faced by the data mining community is that of imbalanced datasets. In imbalanced datasets one class (sometimes severely) outnumbers t...
—When performing predictive data mining, the use of ensembles is known to increase prediction accuracy, compared to single models. To obtain this higher accuracy, ensembles shoul...
Bagging is an ensemble method that uses random resampling of a dataset to construct models. In classification scenarios, the random resampling procedure in bagging induces some c...
