5 Each inner node is a decision based on a feature Each leaf node is a class label

6 Each inner node is a decision based on a feature Each leaf node is a class label Predic-ng Titanic Survivors

7 It can also be used for regression CART (Classifica-on and Regression Tree)

8 Each inner node is a decision based on a feature Each leaf node is a predicted value Predic-ng precipita-on in Himalayas from eleva-on, slope and posi-on

11 Advantages: The decisions are easy to understand and interpret. Both numerical and categorical features can be used naturally. Natural mul-class classifier.

12 Advantages: The decisions are easy to understand and interpret. Both numerical and categorical features can be used naturally. Natural mul-class classifier. Disadvantages: Can overfit to training data with complex trees. Small changes in input data can result in totally different trees. Can make mistakes with unbalanced classes. No confidence intervals (regression).

13 So, how do we build the best tree?

14 Like we fit any other model? Define a cost func-on: a score for a specific model (tree) Try a bunch of models (trees), choose best Use op-miza-on algorithm to try in a smart way

15 Like we fit any other model? Define a cost func-on: a score for a specific model (tree) Try a bunch of models (trees), choose best Use op-miza-on algorithm to try in a smart way

16 Build tree split by split, find the best split you can at each step

17 Build tree split by split, find the best split you can at each step

18 Build tree split by split, find the best split you can at each step

19 Build tree split by split, find the best split you can at each step

20 Use a heuris-c: Greedy search Build tree split by split, find the best split you can at each step?

21 Informa-on Entropy i H = p(x i )log p(x i )

22 Split with the max entropy rule. Repeat. Leaf node if only one class leu (or a performance metric reached, or maximum depth reached)

23 Split with the max entropy rule. Repeat. Leaf node if only one class leu (or a performance metric reached, or maximum depth reached)

24 Split with the max entropy rule. Repeat. Leaf node if only one class leu (or a performance metric reached, or maximum depth reached)

25 Split with the max entropy rule. Repeat. Leaf node if only one class leu (or a performance metric reached, or maximum depth reached)

26 May overfit. Prune.

27 May overfit. Prune.

28 May overfit. Prune.

29 BeWer yet: Use ensemble methods

30 Ensemble Methods: Bagging

31 Bootstrap aggrega-ng Problem: Overfi>ng to training set Solu-on: Bootstrap training set into mul-ple sets Fit a model to each random set Each model has one vote, choose max vote

32 Training set Test set

33 Bootstrap: Sample with replacement

34 Bootstrap: Sample with replacement

35 Classifica-on: Major vote Regression: Average outcome

36 from sklearn.ensemble import BaggingClassifier

37 Ensemble Methods: Random Forests

38 Tree Bagging with a twist

39 Introduce randomness when building each tree.

40 Introduce randomness when building each tree. For a split, do not take the best feature split.

41 Introduce randomness when building each tree. For a split, do not take the best feature split. First, randomly choose sqrt(n_feat) features.

42 Introduce randomness when building each tree. For a split, do not take the best feature split. First, randomly choose sqrt(n_feat) features. Only choose the best split among these.

43 from sklearn.ensemble import RandomForestClassifier from sklearn.ensemble import RandomForestRegressor

44 from sklearn.ensemble import RandomForestClassifier from sklearn.ensemble import RandomForestRegressor from sklearn.ensemble import ExtraTreesClassifier?

45 from sklearn.ensemble import RandomForestClassifier from sklearn.ensemble import RandomForestRegressor from sklearn.ensemble import ExtraTreesClassifier Even more randomized: For each feature, split rule is random, not op-mal
