A Kernel Fisher Discriminant Analysis-Based Tree Ensemble Classifier: KFDA Forest

Donghwan Kim, Seung Hwan Park, Jun-Geol Baek

In general, an ensemble classifier is more accurate than a single classifier. In this study, we propose an ensemble classifier called the kernel Fisher discriminant analysis forest (KFDA Forest), which is a tree-based ensemble method that applies KFDA. To promote diversity, bootstrap is used, and variable sets are randomly divided into K subsets. KFDA is performed on each subset to increase classification accuracy. KFDA maximizes the distance between classes while minimizing the distance within classes. KFDA can also be applied to classification problems in a nonlinear data structure using the kernel trick because it can transform the input space into a kernel feature space, commonly named a rotation, rather than performing a dimensionality reduction. Because new feature axes and KFDA projections are parallel, decision trees are used as a base classifier. To compare the proposed method with existing ensemble methods, we apply these to real datasets from the UCI and KEEL repositories.

A Stationary-Distribution Theory for Triplet-Based Plateau Search in Random Forest Ensemble-Size Selection

Andrey A. Dukhovny, Andrey M. Lange

The number of trees is a central computational parameter in Random Forests: increasing it reduces finite-ensemble variability but increases training and prediction cost. Plateau-based tuning adapts this parameter through local comparisons of out-of-bag scores at a geometric tripl…

Increasing Line Outage Localization Performance with Ensemble Classifiers

Daniel Flores, Yuanrui Sang, Michael P. McGarry

In many cases, the outage of one transmission line in a system can be localized by monitoring the power flow of another line, and machine learning methods can be used to distinguish the cases under uncertainty. In this study, we examine the improvements in line outage localizatio…
