چکیده

Meta decision trees (MDTs) are a method for combining multiple classifiers. We present an integration of the algorithm MLC4.5 for learning MDTs into the Weka data mining suite. We compare classifier ensembles combined with MDTs to bagged and boosted decision trees, and to classifier ensembles combined with other methods: voting, grading, multi-scheme and stacking with multi-response linear regression.

A comparison of stacking with MDTs to bagging, boosting, and other stacking methods

In this paper, we present an integration of the algorithm MLC4.5 for learning meta decision trees (MDTs) into the Weka data mining suite. MDTs are a method for combining multiple classifiers. Instead of giving a prediction, MDT leaves specify which classifier should be used to obtain a prediction. The algorithm is based on the C4.5 algorithm for learning ordinary decision trees. An extensive pe...

A Comparison of Stacking with Meta Decision Trees to Bagging, Boosting, and Stacking with other Methods

Meta decision trees (MDTs) are a method for combining multiple classifiers. We present an integration of the algorithm MLC4.5 for learning MDTs into the Weka data mining suite. We compare classifier ensembles combined with MDTs to bagged and boosted decision trees, and to classifier ensembles combined with other methods: voting and stacking with three different meta-level classifiers (ordinary ...

Is Combining Classifiers Better than Selecting the Best One

We empirically evaluate several state-of-theart methods for constructing ensembles of heterogeneous classifiers with stacking and show that they perform (at best) comparably to selecting the best classifier from the ensemble by cross validation. We then propose a new method for stacking, that uses multi-response model trees at the meta-level, and show that it clearly outperforms existing stacki...

Comparison of Ordinal Response Modeling Methods like Decision Trees, Ordinal Forest and L1 Penalized Continuation Ratio Regression in High Dimensional Data

Background: Response variables in most medical and health-related research have an ordinal nature. Conventional modeling methods assume predictor variables to be independent, and consider a large number of samples (n) compared to the number of covariates (p). Therefore, it is not possible to use conventional models for high dimensional genetic data in which p > n. The present study compared th...

Fraud Detection by Stacking Cost-Sensitive Decision Trees

Worldwide, billions of euros are lost every year due to credit card fraud. Increasingly, fraud has diversified to different digital channels, including mobile and online payments, creating new challenges as innovative new fraud patterns emerge. Hence, it remains challenging to find effective methods of mitigating fraud. Existing solutions include simple if-then rules and classical machine learn...
