bartMachine: Machine Learning with Bayesian Additive Regression Trees
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a new package in R implementing Bayesian additive regression trees (BART). The package introduces many new features for data analysis using BART such as variable selection, interaction detection, model diagnostic plots, incorporation of missing data and the ability to save trees for future prediction. It is significantly faster than the current R implementation, parallelized, and capable of handling both large sample sizes and high-dimensional data.

Prediction with Missing Data via Bayesian Additive Regression Trees
We present a method for incorporating missing data into general forecasting problems which use non-parametric statistical learning. We focus on a tree-based method, Bayesian Additive Regression Trees (BART), enhanced with “Missingness Incorporated in Attributes,” an approach recently proposed for incorporating missingness into decision trees. This procedure extends the native partitioning mecha...
متن کاملBayesian Additive Regression Trees using Bayesian model averaging
Bayesian Additive Regression Trees (BART) is a statistical sum of trees model. It can be considered a Bayesian version of machine learning tree ensemble methods where the individual trees are the base learners. However for datasets where the number of variables p is large (e.g. p > 5, 000) the algorithm can become prohibitively expensive, computationally. Another method which is popular for hig...
متن کاملParticle Gibbs for Bayesian Additive Regression Trees
Additive regression trees are flexible nonparametric models and popular off-the-shelf tools for real-world non-linear regression. In application domains, such as bioinformatics, where there is also demand for probabilistic predictions with measures of uncertainty, the Bayesian additive regression trees (BART) model, introduced by Chipman et al. (2010), is increasingly popular. As data sets have...
متن کاملA Comparison of the Effects of K-Anonymity on Machine Learning Algorithms
While research has been conducted in machine learning algorithms and in privacy preserving in data mining (PPDM), a gap in the literature exists which combines the aforementioned areas to determine how PPDM affects common machine learning algorithms. The aim of this research is to narrow this literature gap by investigating how a common PPDM algorithm, K-Anonymity, affects common machine learni...
متن کاملBayes and Big Data: The Consensus Monte Carlo Algorithm
A useful definition of “big data” is data that is too big to comfortably process on a single machine, either because of processor, memory, or disk bottlenecks. Graphics processing units can alleviate the processor bottleneck, but memory or disk bottlenecks can only be eliminated by splitting data across multiple machines. Communication between large numbers of machines is expensive (regardless ...
