ggRandomForests: Survival with Random Forests
Random Forests (Breiman 2001) (RF) are a fully non-parametric statistical method requiring no distributional assumptions on covariate relation to the response. RF are a robust, nonlinear technique that optimizes predictive accuracy by fitting an ensemble of trees to stabilize model estimates. Random Forests for survival (Ishwaran and Kogalur 2007; Ishwaran, Kogalur, Blackstone, and Lauer 2008) ...
متن کاملImproving Adatree with soft splitting rules
We extend the framework of Adaboost so that it builds a smoothed decision tree rather than a neural network. The proposed method, “Adatree 2”, is derived from the assumption of a probabilistic observation model. It avoids the problem of over-fitting that appears in other tree-growing methods by reweighing the training examples, rather than splitting the training dataset at each node. It differs...
متن کاملGeneralized R-squared for detecting dependence
Detecting dependence between two random variables is a fundamental problem. Although the Pearson correlation coefficient is effective for capturing linear dependence, it can be entirely powerless for detecting nonlinear and/or heteroscedastic patterns. We introduce a new measure, G-squared, to test whether two univariate random variables are independent and to measure the strength of their rela...
متن کاملR-squared for Bayesian regression models∗
The usual definition of R (variance of the predicted values divided by the variance of the data) has a problem for Bayesian fits, as the numerator can be larger than the denominator. We propose an alternative definition similar to one that has appeared in the survival analysis literature: the variance of the predicted values divided by the variance of predicted values plus the variance of the e...
متن کاملSelection Rules for Splitting Strings
It has been pointed out that Nielsen-Olesen vortices may be able to decay by pair production of black holes. We show that when the abelian Higgs model is embedded in a larger theory, the additional fields may lead to selection rules for this process even in the absence of fermions due to the failure of a charge quantization condition. We derive these selection rules, and apply them to two separ...
