Random forests are one of the best performing methods for constructing ensembles. They derive their strength from two aspects: using random subsamples of the training data (as in b...
We introduce a new ensemble method based on decision tree to discover significant and diversified rules for subtype classification of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia, a ...
—Some data mining problems require predictive models to be not only accurate but also comprehensible. Comprehensibility enables human inspection and understanding of the model, m...
—Methods for learning decision rules are being successfully applied to many problem domains, especially where understanding and interpretation of the learned model is necessary. ...
—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...
