Outlier Detection by Boosting Regression Trees
A procedure for detecting outliers in regression problems is proposed. It is based on information provided by boosting regression trees. The key idea is to select the most frequently resampled observation along the boosting iterations and reiterate after removing it. The selection criterion is based on Tchebychev’s inequality applied to the maximum over the boosting iterations of ...
متن کاملOptimization by gradient boosting
Gradient boosting is a state-of-the-art prediction technique that sequentially produces a model in the form of linear combinations of simple predictors—typically decision trees—by solving an infinite-dimensional convex optimization problem. We provide in the present paper a thorough analysis of two widespread versions of gradient boosting, and introduce a general framework for studying these al...
متن کاملGradient Boosting With Piece-Wise Linear Regression Trees
Gradient boosting using decision trees as base learners, so called Gradient Boosted Decision Trees (GBDT), is a very successful ensemble learning algorithm widely used across a variety of applications. Recently, various GDBT construction algorithms and implementation have been designed and heavily optimized in some very popular open sourced toolkits such as XGBoost and LightGBM. In this paper, ...
متن کاملCost efficient gradient boosting
Many applications require learning classifiers or regressors that are both accurate and cheap to evaluate. Prediction cost can be drastically reduced if the learned predictor is constructed such that on the majority of the inputs, it uses cheap features and fast evaluations. The main challenge is to do so with little loss in accuracy. In this work we propose a budget-aware strategy based on dee...
متن کاملWavelet-based gradient boosting
A new data science tool named wavelet-based gradient boosting is proposed and tested. The approach is special case of componentwise linear least squares gradient boosting, and involves wavelet functions of the original predictors.Wavelet-based gradient boosting takes advantages of the approximate 1 penalization induced by gradient boosting to give appropriate penalized additive fits. The method...
