Improved multidimensional scaling heterogeneous cost-sensitive decision tree building method

Abstract

The invention provides an improved multidimensional scaling heterogeneous cost-sensitive decision tree building method, which comprises the steps of selecting splitSi from a candidate attribute according to a target function f(Si) of an attribute Si, extending branches meeting the condition splitS=splitSi from a node, supposing that the number of the branches meeting the condition is k and adding a blank node to the node, namely determining the number of the branches of the current node to be k+1; and simultaneously carrying out pruning operation on leaf nodes by using a first pruning technology, carrying out pruning while building the tree, and stopping building the tree when two conditions are met as follows: (1) Yi is supposed to be a sample set meeting the condition splitS=splitSi in a training dataset, if Yi is null, one leaf node is added and the sample set is marked as the most common type in the training dataset; and (2) all examples in the node belong to the same type. According to the method provided by the invention, the classification accuracy is improved; the bias problem in the classification process is solved; and multiple cost impact factors and the blank node in the branches of a decision tree are considered, and the next step of classification operation can be continued through the blank node if an unknown classification result does not conform to a current model.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the fields of machine learning, artificial intelligence and data mining. Background technique [0002] The topic of decision trees is an important and active research topic in data mining and machine learning. The proposed algorithm is widely and successfully applied in practical problems such as ID 3 , CART and C4.5, classic algorithms such as decision trees mainly study the problem of accuracy, and the generated decision trees have higher accuracy. In the existing algorithms, some only consider the test cost, and some only consider the misclassification error cost. This type is called one-dimensional scale cost sensitive, and the decision tree constructed by it cannot solve the comprehensive problem in real cases. For example, in cost-sensitive learning, in addition to the impact of test cost and misclassification cost on classification, the impact of waiting time cost on classification prediction also needs to be considere...
