In the present paper, Random Forests are used in a critical and at the same time non trivial problem concerning the diagnosis of Gas Turbine blading faults, portraying promising results. Random forests-based fault diagnosis is treated as a Pattern Recognition problem, based on measurements and feature selection. Two different types of inserting randomness to the trees are studied, based on diff...

Random forests are known to be robust for missing and erroneous data as well as irrelevant features. Moreover, even though the forests have many trees, they can utilize the fast building property of decision trees, so they do not require much computing time. In this paper an efficient procedure that utilizes random forests to predict the cylinder bands in rotogravure printing is shown. Even tho...

Computational intelligent techniques can be useful at the diagnosis stage to assist the Oncologist in identifying the malignancy of a tumor. In this paper we perform a t-test for significant gene expression analysis in different dimensions based on molecular profiles from microarray data, and compare several computational intelligent techniques for classification accuracy on selected datasets. ...

The random forest algorithm, proposed by L. Breiman in 2001, has been extremely successful as a general-purpose classification and regression method. The approach, which combines several randomized decision trees and aggregates their predictions by averaging, has shown excellent performance in settings where the number of variables is much larger than the number of observations. Moreover, it is...

Random forests are a type of ensemble method which makes predictions by combining the results of several independent trees. However, the theory of random forests has long been outpaced by their application. In this paper, we propose a novel random forests algorithm based on cooperative game theory. Banzhaf power index is employed to evaluate the power of each feature by traversing possible feat...
