Boosting is a popular approach for building accurate classifiers. Despite the initial popular belief, boosting algorithms do exhibit overfitting and are sensitive to label noise. ...
We propose a simple, novel and yet effective method for building and testing decision trees that minimizes the sum of the misclassification and test costs. More specifically, we f...
