Sequential Feature Selection and Inference using Multivariate Random Forests.
Motivation Random forest has become a widely popular prediction generating mechanism. Its strength lies in its flexibility, interpretability and ability to handle large number of features, typically larger than the sample size. However, this methodology is of limited use if one wishes to identify statistically significant features. Several ranking schemes are available that provide information ...
متن کاملAirborne Lidar Feature Selection for Urban Classification Using Random Forests
Various multi-echo and Full-waveform (FW) lidar features can be processed. In this paper, multiple classifers are applied to lidar feature selection for urban scene classification. Random forests are used since they provide an accurate classification and run efficiently on large datasets. Moreover, they return measures of variable importance for each class. The feature selection is obtained by ...
متن کاملVariable selection using random forests
This paper proposes, focusing on random forests, the increasingly used statistical method for classification and regression problems introduced by Leo Breiman in 2001, to investigate two classical issues of variable selection. The first one is to find important variables for interpretation and the second one is more restrictive and try to design a good prediction model. The main contribution is...
متن کاملVariable Selection Using Random Forests
One of the main topic in the development of predictive models is the identification of variables which are predictors of a given outcome. Automated model selection methods, such as backward or forward stepwise regression, are classical solutions to this problem, but are generally based on strong assumptions about the functional form of the model or the distribution of residuals. In this paper a...
متن کاملBayesian portfolio selection with multi-variate random variance models
We consider multi-period portfolio selection problems for a decision maker with a specified utility function when the variance of security returns is described by a discrete time stochastic model. The solution of these problems involves a dynamic programming formulation and backward induction. We present a simulation-based method to solve these problems adopting an approach which replaces the p...
