This research presents Gradient Boosted Tree High Importance Path Snippets (gbt-HIPS), a novel, heuristic method for explaining gradient boosted tree (GBT) classification models by extracting single rule (CR) from the ensemble of decision trees that make up GBT model. CR contains most statistically important boundary values input space as antecedent terms. The represents hyper-rectangle inside ...

In this paper we analyze and interpret the quote price dynamics of 100 NYSE stocks stratified by trade frequency.

From this model we are also able to...
