Recent empirical studies revealed two surprising pathologies of several common decision tree pruning algorithms. First, tree size is often a linear function of training set size, even when additional tree structure yields no increase in accuracy. Second, building trees with data in which the class label and the attributes are independent often results in large trees. In both cases, the pruning ...

The aim of this study is to determine the effectiveness of a natural tropical tree resin in controlling termites thus providing protection from their destruction. Tree resin from the bark of tropical trees offers the potential for this protection. Termites were fed by filter paper soaked in tropical tree resin dissolved in a solvent at different concentrations for 15 days. The number of termite...

Let be a locally compact non?abelian group and be a compact subgroup of also let be a ?invariant measure on the homogeneous space . In this article, we extend the linear operator as a bounded surjective linear operator for all ?spaces with . As an application of this extension, we show that each frame for determines a frame for and each frame for arises from a frame in via...

Estimating urban trees growth, especially tree height is very important in urban landscape management. The aim of the study was to predict of tree height base on tree diameter. To achieve this goal, 921 trees from five species were measured in five areas of Mashhad city in 2014. The evaluated trees were ash tree (Fraxinus species), plane tree (Platanus hybrida), white mulberry (Morus alba), ail...

the present research was performed in patom, namkhaneh, gorazbon, chelir and baharbon districts in kheyrud forest. due to existence of forest typology map and extension of study area, this study was confined to beech dominated forests. a stratified sampling method based on landform is used to locate 1000 m2 circular sample plots. the number of fagus orientalis lipsky trees ? 7.5 cm in dbh withi...

this study compared the use of five different models to describe the growth from birth to 20 weeks of age of kids from both genders of nondescript goats. fifty nine (59) nondescript kids were weighed weekly at the university of maiduguri livestock teaching and research farm, nigeria and the live weights were modeled. biologically relevant variables were estimated for each kid from the logistic,...
