 ABSTRACT This paper applies a decision tree model and logistic regression models to a real transportation problem, compares results of these two methods and presents model building procedures as well. The data set is partitioned into train, validation and test data. Due to the skewness of some variables, the variable transformation technique has been conducted and a transformed logistic regre...

The classification and regression trees (CART) possess the advantage of being able to handlelarge data sets and yield readily interpretable models. In spite to these advantages, they are alsorecognized as highly unstable classifiers with respect to minor perturbations in the training data.In the other words methods present high variance. Fuzzy logic brings in an improvement in theseaspects due ...

introduction rainfall is considered as one of the most important factures in water cycle. prediction of monthly rainfall is important for many purposes such as estimating torrent, drought, run-off, sediment, irrigation programming and also management of drainage basins. rainfall prediction in each area is mediated by punctual data measured as humidity, temperature, wind speed and etc. as iran i...

Airborne lidar (Light Detection And Ranging) is a proven technology that can be used to accurately assess aboveground forest biomass and bio-energy feedstocks. The overall goal of this study was to develop a method for assessing aboveground biomass and component biomass for individual trees using airborne lidar data in forest settings typical for loblolly pine stands (Pinus taeda L.) in the sou...

This work reports the results of four ensemble approaches with the M5 model tree as the base regression model to anticipate Sodium Adsorption Ratio (SAR). Ensemble methods that combine the output of multiple regression models have been found to be more accurate than any of the individual models making up the ensemble. In this study additive boosting, bagging, rotation forest and random subspace...

We consider the problem of estimating a sparse multi-response regression function, with an application to expression quantitative trait locus (eQTL) mapping, where the goal is to discover genetic variations that influence gene-expression levels. In particular, we investigate a shrinkage technique capable of capturing a given hierarchical structure over the responses, such as a hierarchical clus...

ÐA fuzzy decision tree is constructed by allowing the possibility of partial membership of a point in the nodes that make up the tree structure. This extension of its expressive capabilities transforms the decision tree into a powerful functional approximant that incorporates features of connectionist methods, while remaining easily interpretable. Fuzzification is achieved by superimposing a fu...
