Forest types mapping, is one of the most necessary elements in the forest management and silviculture treatments. Traditional methods such as field surveys are almost time-consuming and cost-intensive. Improvements in remote sensing data sources and classification –estimation methods are preparing new opportunities for obtaining more accurate forest biophysical attributes maps. This research co...

A classification or regression tree is a prediction model that can be represented as a decision tree. This article discusses the C4.5, CART, CRUISE, GUIDE, and QUEST methods in terms of their algorithms, features, properties, and performance.

Decision trees, either classification or regression trees, are especially attractive type of models for three main reasons. First, they have an intuitive representation, the resulting model is easy to understand and assimilate by humans [BFOS84]. Second, the decision trees are nonparametric models, no intervention being required from the user, and thus they are very suited for exploratory knowl...

difference aspects of multinomial statistical modelings and its classifications has been studied so far. in these type of problems y is the qualitative random variable with t possible states which are considered as classifications. the goal is prediction of y based on a random vector x ? ir^m. many methods for analyzing these problems were considered. one of the modern and general method of cla...
