Background and objectives: Application of statistical machine learning methods such as ensemble based approaches in survival analysis has been received considerable interest over the past decades in time-to-event data sets. One of these practical methods is survival forests which have been developed in a variety of contexts due to their high precision, non-parametric and non-linear nature. This...

Landslide hazards have attracted increasing public attention over the past decades due to a series of catastrophic consequences landslide occurrence. Thus, mitigation and prevention been topical issues. Thereinto, numerous research achievements on susceptibility assessment springing up in recent years. In this paper, four benchmark models including best-first decision tree (BFTree), functional ...

Genetic population assignment used to inform wildlife management and conservation efforts requires panels of highly informative genetic markers and sensitive assignment tests. We explored the utility of machine-learning algorithms (random forest, regularized random forest and guided regularized random forest) compared with FST ranking for selection of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) for f...

The ensemble consists of a single set individually trained models, the predictions which are combined when classifying new cases, in building good classification model requires diversity model. algorithm, logistic regression, support vector machine, random forest, and neural network models as alternative sources information. Previous research has shown that ensembles more accurate than models. ...

We applied machine learning to predict whether a gene is involved in axon regeneration. We extracted 31 features from different databases and trained five machine learning models. Our optimal model, a Random Forest Classifier with 50 submodels, yielded a test score of 85.71%, which is 4.1% higher than the baseline score. We concluded that our models have some predictive capability. Similar meth...

Combining machine learning models is a means of improving overall accuracy. Various algorithms have been proposed to create aggregate models from other models, and two popular examples for classification are Bagging and AdaBoost. In this paper we examine their adaptation to regression, and benchmark them on synthetic and real-world data. Our experiments reveal that different types of AdaBoost a...

Multivariate Adaptive Regression Splines (MARS) is a supervised learning model in machine learning, not obtained by an ensemble method. Ensemble methods are gathered from samples comprising hundreds or thousands of learners that serve the common purpose improving stability and accuracy algorithms. This study presented REMARS (Random MARS), new MARS selection approach using Random Forest (RF) al...

This paper investigates the use of ensemble of predictors in order to improve the performance of spatial prediction methods. Support vector regression (SVR), a popular method from the field of statistical machine learning, is used. Several instances of SVR are combined using different data sampling schemes (bagging and boosting). Bagging shows good performance, and proves to be more computation...

Underlying fabrics can change the appearance, function and quality of the garment, and also add so much longevity of the garment. Nowadays, with the increasing use of various types of fabrics in the garment industry, their resistance to bagging is of great importance with the aim of determining the effectiveness of textiles under various forces. The current paper investigated the effect of unde...
