Random Forest, An Ensemble Learning Algorithm

Here in this laboratory experiment, we investigated the differences between an old growth (late-successional) forest and a young (early-successional) forest. We measured the basal area of systematically selected trees,

In this experiment, we found that the performance of random forests is optimal with around 70% accuracy on publicly available “Diabetes 130-US hospitals for year 1999-2008” dataset. The proposed model also indicates that information regarding diagnosis, age, race, medications, admission types, lab procedures are highly influential for readmission classification. In this work, the result is evaluated in different criteria. The best AUC and f-measure values obtained on the experiment dataset were 70.1% and 66.6% the classification of the readmitted patients from non-readmitted patients using random forests. It can be observed Random Forests is performed optimal than Naïve Bayes and C4.5.

We experiment with two different tree ensemble methods- gradient boosting (Xgboost) and random forest, and compare their performance together with kernel SVM algorithm. We briefly describe these algorithms below.

Performance of the algorithm was evaluated using the validation set. We calculated the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV) and accuracy as follows:

In this thesis, a machine learning algorithm called Boosted Decision Tree (BDT) is used as a particle identification (PID) classifier.

RF is the ensemble classification technique based on the many random decision trees classifiers. Decision tree is the classification approach that relate the target point to the predictor based on the simple decision criteria. Decision tree can easily become unstable and result in the very complex decision boundaries, therefore Random forests are used to improve the accuracy of the prediction and also controls the over-fitting \cite{Thomas}. It has been shown that a large number of features can be handled by RF \cite{Liai}. RF also, has been reported to have higher accuracy in predicting biomass compared to

Support Vector Machines (SVMs) suffer from a widely recognized scalability problem in both memory use and computational time. To improve scalability, we have developed a parallel SVM algorithm (PSVM), which reduces memory use through performing a row-based, approximate matrix factorization, and which loads only essential data to each machine to perform parallel computation. Let n denote the number of training instances, p the reduced matrix dimension after factorization (p is significantly smaller than n), and m the number of machines. PSVM reduces the memory requirement from O(n2) to O(np/m), and improves computation time to O(np2/m). Empirical study shows PSVM to be effective. PSVM Open Source is available for download at http://code.google.com/p/psvm/.

Abstract— Classification problems often have a large number of features in the data sets, but only some of them are useful for classification. Data Mining Performance gets reduced by Irrelevant and redundant features. Feature selection aims to choose a small number of relevant features to achieve similar or even better classification performance than using all features. It has two main objectives are maximizing the classification performance and minimizing the number of features. Moreover, the existing feature selection algorithms treat the task as a single objective problem. Selecting attribute is done by the combination of attribute evaluator and search method using WEKA Machine Learning Tool. We compare SVM classification algorithm to automatically classify the data using selected features with different standard dataset.

Post-classification or reassessment of a classed image is performed to refine the classified image. Year

The objective of this research is utilized ensemble learning method that combines the vote of multiple learner classifiers by using the different subset of feature to improve the accuracy of supervised learning. Another advantage of ensemble methods, it enhances the performance by using different types of classifiers together because it reduces the variance between them and keeps bias error rate without increasing. Two main types of ensemble methods [9]: Bagging and Boosting techniques [10]. The first one depends on subsampling of the training dataset by replacement sample and generates training subset then
