| This workshop will present Leo Breiman's Random Forests and Jerome Friedman's TreeNet/MART. Random Forests and MART/TreeNet are advances to classification and regression tree software, which enable the modeler to construct predictive models of extraordinary accuracy. Random Forest is a tree-based procedure that makes use of bootstrapping and random feature generation. In TreeNet, classification and regression models are built gradually through a potentially large collection of small trees, each of which improves on its predecessor through an error-correcting strategy. I will show how the software is used to solve real-world data mining problems, discuss theory and what is novel in the software, highlight implementation, compare the two methodologies, and show where the software fits in terms of other data mining software. | ||
