CCARTree Class Reference

Detailed Description

This class implements the Classification And Regression Trees algorithm by Breiman et al for decision tree learning. A CART tree is a binary decision tree that is constructed by splitting a node into two child nodes repeatedly, beginning with the root node that contains the whole dataset.

TREE GROWING PROCESS :
During the tree growing process, we recursively split a node into left child and right child so that the resulting nodes are "purest". We do this until any of the stopping criteria is met. To find the best split, we scan through all possible splits in all predictive attributes. The best split is one that maximises some splitting criterion. For classification tasks, ie. when the dependent attribute is categorical, the Gini index is used. For regression tasks, ie. when the dependent variable is continuous, least squares deviation is used. The algorithm uses two stopping criteria : if node becomes completely "pure", ie. all its members have identical dependent variable, or all of them have identical predictive attributes (independent variables).

.

COST-COMPLEXITY PRUNING :
The maximal tree, \(T_max\) grown during tree growing process is bound to overfit. Hence pruning becomes necessary. Cost-Complexity pruning yields a list of subtrees of varying depths using the complexity normalized resubstitution error, \(R_\alpha(T)\). The resubstitution error R(T) is a measure of how well a decision tree fits the training data. This measure favours larger trees over smaller ones. However, complexity normalized resubstitution error, adds penalty for increased complexity and hence counters overfitting.
\(R_\alpha(T)=R(T)+\alpha \times (numleaves)\)
The best subtree among the list of subtrees can be chosen using cross validation or using best-fit in the test dataset.
cf. https://onlinecourses.science.psu.edu/stat557/node/93

HANDLING MISSING VALUES :
While choosing the best split at a node, missing attribute values are left out. But data vectors with missing values of the best attribute chosen are sent to left child or right child using a surrogate split. A surrogate split is one that imitates the best split as closely as possible. While choosing a surrogate split, all splits alternative to the best split are scaned and the degree of closeness between the two is measured using a metric called predictive measure of association, \(\lambda_{i,j}\).
\(\lambda_{i,j} = \frac{min(P_L,P_R)-(1-P_{L_iL_j}-P_{R_iR_j})}{min(P_L,P_R)}\)
where \(P_L\) and \(P_R\) are the node probabilities for the optimal split of node i into left and right nodes respectively, \(P_{L_iL_j}\) ( \(P_{R_iR_j}\) resp.) is the probability that both (optimal) node i and (surrogate) node j send an observation to the Left (Right resp.).
We use best surrogate split, 2nd best surrogate split and so on until all data points with missing attributes in a node have been sent to left/right child. If all possible surrogate splits are used up but some data points are still to be assigned left/right child, majority rule is used, ie. the data points are assigned the child where majority of data points have gone from the node.
