C4.5 is an algorithm used to generate a decision tree developed by Ross Quinlan. [1] C4.5 is an extension of Quinlan's earlier ID3 algorithm.The decision trees generated by C4.5 can be used for classification, and for this reason, C4.5 is often referred to as a statistical classifier.
Decision tree learning is a method commonly used in data mining. [3] The goal is to create a model that predicts the value of a target variable based on several input variables. A decision tree is a simple representation for classifying examples.
Decision trees can also be seen as generative models of induction rules from empirical data. An optimal decision tree is then defined as a tree that accounts for most of the data, while minimizing the number of levels (or "questions"). [8] Several algorithms to generate such optimal trees have been devised, such as ID3/4/5, [9] CLS, ASSISTANT ...
Decision Tree Model. In computational complexity theory, the decision tree model is the model of computation in which an algorithm can be considered to be a decision tree, i.e. a sequence of queries or tests that are done adaptively, so the outcome of previous tests can influence the tests performed next.
In computer science, a logistic model tree (LMT) is a classification model with an associated supervised training algorithm that combines logistic regression (LR) and decision tree learning. [ 1 ] [ 2 ]
AdaBoost (with decision trees as the weak learners) is often referred to as the best out-of-the-box classifier. [ 4 ] [ 5 ] When used with decision tree learning, information gathered at each stage of the AdaBoost algorithm about the relative 'hardness' of each training sample is fed into the tree-growing algorithm such that later trees tend to ...
An incremental decision tree algorithm is an online machine learning algorithm that outputs a decision tree. Many decision tree methods, such as C4.5 , construct a tree using a complete dataset. Incremental decision tree methods allow an existing tree to be updated using only new individual data instances, without having to re-process past ...
