Decision Tree Induction
Introduction:
 Decision tree induction is the method of learning the decision trees from
the training set. The training set consists of attributes and class labels.
Applications of decision tree induction include astronomy, financial analysis,
medical diagnosis, manufacturing, and production.
 A decision tree is a flowchart tree-like structure that is made from
training set tuples. The dataset is broken down into smaller subsets and is
present in the form of nodes of a tree. The tree structure has a root node,
internal nodes or decision nodes, leaf node, and branches. The root node is
the topmost node.

Continue:
The following decision tree is for the
concept buy_computer that indicates
whether a customer at a company is
likely to buy a computer or not. Each
internal node represents a test on an
attribute. Each leaf node represents a
class.

Decision Tree Induction for Machine Learning:
ID3
In the late 1970s and early 1980s, J.Ross Quinlan was a researcher who built
a decision tree algorithm for machine learning. This algorithm is known
as ID3, Iterative Dichotomiser. This algorithm was an extension of the
concept learning systems described by E.B Hunt, J, and Marin.
ID3 later came to be known as C4.5. ID3 and C4.5 follow a greedy top-down
approach for constructing decision trees. The algorithm starts with a
training dataset with class labels that are portioned into smaller subsets as
the tree is being constructed.

Continue:
1) Initially, there are three parameters i.e. attribute list, attribute selection
method and data partition. The attribute list describes the attributes of the
training set tuples.
2) The attribute selection method describes the method for selecting the
best attribute for discrimination among tuples. The methods used for
attribute selection can either be Information Gain or Gini Index.
3) The structure of the tree (binary or non-binary) is decided by the
attribute selection method.
4) When constructing a decision tree, it starts as a single node
representing the tuples.

Continue:
5) If the root node tuples represent different class labels, then it calls an
attribute selection method to split or partition the tuples. The step will lead
to the formation of branches and decision nodes.
6) The splitting method will determine which attribute should be selected
to partition the data tuples. It also determines the branches to be grown
from the node according to the test outcome. The main motive of the
splitting criteria is that the partition at each branch of the decision tree
should represent the same class label.

An example of splitting attribute is shown
below:
The portioning above is discrete-valued. The portioning above is for continuous-valued.

Continue:
7) The above partitioning steps are followed recursively to form a decision
tree for the training dataset tuples.
8) The portioning stops only when either all the partitions are made or
when the remaining tuples cannot be partitioned further.
9) The complexity of the algorithm is described by n * |D| * log |D| where n
is the number of attributes in training dataset D and |D| is the number of
tuples.

Why decision tree induction in data mining?
– relatively faster learning speed (than other
classification methods)
– convertible to simple and easy to understand
classification rules
– can use SQL queries for accessing databases
– comparable classification accuracy with other
Methods.

Advantages Of Decision Tree Classification
Enlisted below are the various merits of Decision Tree Classification:
1. Decision tree classification does not require any domain knowledge,
hence, it is appropriate for the knowledge discovery process.
2. The representation of data in the form of the tree is easily understood by
humans and it is intuitive.
3. It can handle multidimensional data.
4. It is a quick process with great accuracy.

Disadvantages Of Decision Tree Classification
Given below are the various demerits of Decision Tree Classification:
1. Sometimes decision trees become very complex and these are called
overfitted trees.
2. The decision tree algorithm may not be an optimal solution.
3. The decision trees may return a biased solution if some class label
dominates it.

What Is Greedy Recursive Binary Splitting?
In the binary splitting method, the tuples are split and each split cost
function is calculated. The lowest cost split is selected. The splitting method
is binary which is formed as 2 branches. It is recursive in nature as the same
method (calculating the cost) is used for splitting the other tuples of the
dataset.
This algorithm is called as greedy as it focuses only on the current node. It
focuses on lowering its cost, while the other nodes are ignored.

How To Select Attributes For Creating A Tree?
Attribute selection measures are also called splitting rules to decide how the
tuples are going to split. The splitting criteria are used to best partition the
dataset. These measures provide a ranking to the attributes for partitioning
the training tuples.
The most popular methods of selecting the attribute are:
Information gain
Gain Ratio.
Gini index.

Information Gain
This method the main method that is used to build decision trees. It reduces
the information that is required to classify the tuples.
It reduces the number of tests that are needed to classify the given tuple. The
attribute with the highest information gain is selected.
The original information needed for classification of a tuple in dataset D is
given by:

Continue:
Where p is the probability that the tuple belongs to class C. The information
is encoded in bits, therefore, log to the base 2 is used. E(s) represents the
average amount of information required to find out the class label of dataset
D. This information gain is also called Entropy.
The information required for exact classification after portioning is given by
the formula:
Where P (c) is the weight of partition. This information represents the
information needed to classify the dataset D on portioning by X.

Continue:
Information gain is the difference between the original and expected
information that is required to classify the tuples of dataset D.
Gain is the reduction of information that is required by knowing the value of
X. The attribute with the highest information gain is chosen as “best”.

Gain Ratio:
Information gain might sometimes result in portioning useless for
classification. However, the Gain ratio splits the training data set into
partitions and considers the number of tuples of the outcome with respect to
the total tuples.
The attribute with the max gain ratio is used as a splitting attribute.

Gini Index:
Gini Index is calculated for binary variables only. It measures the impurity in
training tuples of dataset D, as
P is the probability that tuple belongs to class C. The Gini index that is
calculated for binary split dataset D by attribute A is given by:
Where n is the nth partition of the dataset D.

Continue:
 The reduction in impurity is given by the difference of the Gini index of the
original dataset D and Gini index after partition by attribute A.
 The maximum reduction in impurity or max Gini index is selected as the best
attribute for splitting.
Overfitting In Decision Trees
 Overfitting happens when a decision tree tries to be as perfect as possible by
increasing the depth of tests and thereby reduces the error. This results in very
complex trees and leads to overfitting.
 Overfitting reduces the predictive nature of the decision tree. The approaches to
avoid overfitting of the trees include pre pruning and post pruning.

What Is Tree Pruning?
Tree pruning is the method to reduce the unwanted branches of the tree.
This will reduce the complexity of the tree and help in effective predictive
analysis. It reduces the overfitting as it removes the unimportant branches
from the trees.
There are two ways of pruning the tree:
1) Prepruning
2) Postpruning
Pre-pruning − The tree is pruned by halting its construction early.
Post-pruning - This approach removes a sub-tree from a fully grown tree.

Cost Complexity
The cost complexity is measured by
the following two parameters −
 Number of leaves in the tree
 Error rate of the tree.

Scalability
Classifying data sets with millions of examples and hundreds of attributes
with reasonable speed.
Scalable Decision Tree Induction Methods
 SLIQ (EDBT’96 — Mehta et al.)
– Builds an index for each attribute and only class
list and the current attribute list reside in memory

Continue:
 SPRINT (VLDB’96 — J. Shafer et al.)
– Constructs an attribute list data structure
 RainForest (VLDB’98 — Gehrke, Ramakrishnan & Ganti)
– Builds an AVC-list (attribute, value, class label)
 BOAT (PODS’99 — Gehrke, Ganti, Ramakrishnan & Loh)
– Uses bootstrapping to create several small
Samples.

Scalability Framework for RainForest
Separates the scalability aspects from the criteria that determine the quality
of the tree
 Builds an AVC-list: AVC (Attribute, Value, Class_label)
o AVC-set (of an attribute X )
– Projection of training dataset onto the attribute X and class label where
counts of individual class label are aggregated.
o AVC-group (of a node n )
– Set of AVC-sets of all predictor attributes at the node n.

BOAT (Bootstrapped Optimistic Algorithm for
Tree Construction)
• Use a statistical technique called bootstrapping to create several smaller
samples (subsets), each fits in memory
• Each subset is used to create a tree, resulting in several trees
• These trees are examined and used to construct a new tree T’
– It turns out that T’ is very close to the tree that would be generated using
the whole data set together.
• Adv: requires only two scans of DB, an incremental alg.

SYNOPSIS:
Bayesian classification:
1) Introduction and Bayes Theorem
2) Naive Bayes Classification
3) Bayesian Belief Networks
4) Applications of Naive Bayes

Introduction
● Bayesian classifiers are the statistical classifiers based on Bayes'
Theorem
● Bayesian classifiers can predict class membership probabilities i.e. the
probability that a given tuple belongs to a particular class.
● It uses the given values to train a model and then it uses this model
to classify new data

What is Bayes Theorem?
● Bayes' theorem, named after 18th-century British mathematician
Thomas Bayes, is a mathematical formula for determining conditional
probability
● The theorem provides a way to revise existing predictions or theories
given new or additional evidence.
● In finance, Bayes' theorem can be used to rate the risk of lending
money to potential borrowers.

Bayes Formula
● The formula for the Bayes theorem is given as follows:
● Bayes' theorem is also called Bayes' Rule or Bayes' Law.

What are Bayesian Classifiers?
● Statistical classifiers.
● Predict class membership probabilities, such as the probability that a
given tuple belongs to a particular class.
● Based on Bayes’ theorem
● Exhibits high accuracy and speed when applied to large databases.

Naive Bayes Classification
Before explaining the mathematical representations, let us see the basic
principle of
Bayesian classification :
Predict the most probable class for each instance. How ?
Find out the probability of the previously unseen instance belonging to each
class,
and then select the most probable class.

Naive Bayes Classification
A Naive Bayes Classifier is a program which predicts a class value given a
set of set of attributes.
For each known class value,
● Calculate probabilities for each attribute, conditional on the class value.
● Use the product rule to obtain a joint conditional probability for the
attributes.
● Use Bayes rule to derive conditional probabilities for the class variable.
Once this has been done for all class values, output the class with the
highest probability.

Model Parameters
For the Bayes classifier, we need to “learn” two functions, the likelihood and
the prior.
each feature is conditionally independent of every other feature for a
particular class label.
This reduces the number of model parameters.

Bayes Classification
Naive Bayes works equally well for multi valued attributes also.

“Zero” Problem
What if there is a class, Ci and X has an attribute Xk such that none of the
samples in Ci has that attribute value?
In that case P(xk|Ci ) = 0, which results in P(X|Ci ) =0
even though P(xk|Ci ) for all the other attributes in X may be large.
