1 Decision rees CS 341 Lectures 8/9 Dan Sheldon

2 Review: Linear Methods Y! So far, we ve looked at linear methods! Linear regression! Fit a line/plane/hyperplane X 2 X 1! Logistic regression! Decision boundary is a line/ plane/hyperplane x x 1

3 Review: Feature Expansions! Non-linearity by trickery 4 7!! Drawback: not automatic! hard work for us! y x x x 7! (1,x,x 2,x 3,...) x 1 (x 1,x 2 ) 7! (1,x 1,x 2,x 2 1,x 2 2,x 1 x 2 ),

4 Next Up: Non-Linear Methods! Hypothesis class is intrinsically non-linear! Next few topics! Decision trees! Neural networks! Kernels! oday: decision trees

5 Decision ree opics! What is a decision tree?! Learn a tree from data! Good vs. bad trees! Greedy top-down learning! Entropy! Pruning! Geometric interpretation

6 What Is a Decision ree?! Example from R&N: wait for table at restaurant? Patrons? None Some Full F WaitEstimate? > F Alternate? Hungry? Reservation? Fri/Sat? Alternate? Bar? F Raining? F F [Figure: Russell & Norvig]

7 What Is a Decision ree?! Internal nodes: test an attribute (feature)! Assume discrete attributes for now! Branches: different values of attribute! Leaf node: predict a class label Patrons? None Some Full F WaitEstimate? > F Alternate? Hungry? Reservation? Fri/Sat? Alternate? Bar? F Raining? F F [Figure: Russell & Norvig]

8 What Is a Decision ree?! Predict by following path down tree Attributes arget Example Alt Bar Fri Hun Pat Price Rain Res ype Est Wait? X 4 F Full $ F F hai Patrons? None Some Full F WaitEstimate? > F Alternate? Hungry? Reservation? Fri/Sat? Alternate? Bar? F Raining? F F

9 Decision rees in the Wild! Decision trees are common decisionmaking tools! You have all seen them!! R&N: Car service manuals! Viburnum ID! index.html [Image: Clemson cooperative extension]

10 Decision rees in the Wild! C-section risk (learned from data) [Example: X. Fern, Oregon State]

11 Decision rees in the Wild

12 Why Decision rees?! Easy to understand! Match human decision-making processes! Excellent performance! One of the best out-of-the-box methods when used carefully! Very flexible hypothesis space! Can learn complex decision boundaries! Handle messy data well! Missing features! Continuous discrete! Etc.

13 How to Learn a ree From Data! raining data for R&N example Attributes arget Example Alt Bar Fri Hun Pat Price Rain Res ype Est Wait? X 1 Yes No Some $$$ French 0 10 X 2 Yes No Full $ No No hai F X 3 No No Some $ No No Burger 0 10 X 4 Yes Yes Full $ Yes No hai X 5 Yes No Full $$$ French >60 F X 6 Some $$ Yes Yes Italian 0 10 X 7 No No None $ Yes No Burger 0 10 F X 8 No No Some $$ Yes Yes hai 0 10 X 9 Yes No Full $ Yes No Burger >60 F X 10 Yes Yes Yes Yes Full $$$ Italian F X 11 No No No No None $ No No hai 0 10 F X 12 Yes Yes Yes Yes Full $ No No Burger 30 60

14 Exercise! Design an algorithm! Input: single training example! Output: decision tree that matches that example Attributes arget Example Alt Bar Fri Hun Pat Price Rain Res ype Est Wait? X 4 Yes Yes Full $ Yes No hai 10 30

15 Exercise (cont ) Attributes arget Example Alt Bar Fri Hun Pat Price Rain Res ype Est Wait? X 4 Yes Yes Full $ Yes No hai 10 30

16 Exercise! Design a tree to match all examples! Hint: use previous exercise Attributes arget Example Alt Bar Fri Hun Pat Price Rain Res ype Est Wait? X 1 Yes No Some $$$ French 0 10 X 2 Yes No Full $ No No hai F X 3 No No Some $ No No Burger 0 10 X 4 Yes Yes Full $ Yes No hai X 5 Yes No Full $$$ French >60 F X 6 Some $$ Yes Yes Italian 0 10 X 7 No No None $ Yes No Burger 0 10 F X 8 No No Some $$ Yes Yes hai 0 10 X 9 Yes No Full $ Yes No Burger >60 F X 10 Yes Yes Yes Yes Full $$$ Italian F X 11 No No No No None $ No No hai 0 10 F X 12 Yes Yes Yes Yes Full $ No No Burger 30 60

17 A Correct Answer! For each training example, create a path from root to leaf! What is wrong with this?

18 What Is a Good ree?! Find smallest tree that fits training data! A very hard problem! Number of trees on d binary attributes at least! E.g., with 6 attributes! 2 2d 2 26 = 18,446,744,073,709,551,616! Effectively impossible to find best tree

19 op-down Greedy Heuristic! Idea:! Find best attribute to test at root of tree! Recursively apply algorithm to each branch Patrons? ype? None Some Full French Italian hai Burger! Best attribute?! Ideally, splits the examples into subsets that are "all positive" or "all negative"

20 Base Cases! Keep splitting until.! All examples have same label! Run out of examples! Run out of attributes

21 Base Case I Patrons? None Some Full! All examples have same classification (e.g. true)! Return classification (e.g., true)

22 Base Case II Patrons? None Some Full Price? $ $$ $$$! No more examples! Return majority class of parent (e.g., false)

23 Base Case III Patrons? None Some Full Price? $ $$ $$$ ype? hai Hungry?! No more attributes! Return majority class (e.g., false) yes

24 he Algorithm! Put it (almost) all together function DL(examples, attributes, default) returns a decision tree if examples is empty then return default else if all examples have the same classification then return the classification else if attributes is empty then return Mode(examples) else best Choose-Attribute(attributes, examples) tree a new decision tree with root test best for each value v i of best do examples i {elements of examples with best = v i } subtree DL(examples i, attributes best, Mode(examples)) add a branch to tree with label v i and subtree subtree return tree

25 Splitting Criteria! An obvious idea is error rate! otal # of errors we would make if we stopped training now 15 5 Errors = Attribute 1 Attribute 2

26 Splitting Criteria! Problem: error rate fails to differentiate these two splits 15 5 Errors = Attribute 3 Attribute 2! HW problem: show that error rate does not decrease unless children have different majority classes

27 Entropy! Measure of uncertainty from field of Information heory! Claude Shannon (1948)! Consider a biased random coin! Pr(X = heads) = q!! Pr(X = tails) = 1 q!! Define surprise of a random variable as! S(X = x) = -log 2 Pr(X = x)! q = 0 q=1/4 q=1/2 S(X = heads) infinite 2 1 S(X = tails)

28 Entropy q = 0 q=1/4 q=1/2 S(X = heads) infinite 2 1 S(X = tails) ! Entropy = average surprise! For the biased coin H (X) = Pr(X = x)logpr(x = x) values x B(q) := H (X) = qlogq (1 q)log(1 q)

29 Entropy! Entropy of a biased coin Entropy q

30 Entropy as Attribute est! Look for split with biggest reduction in entropy! Information gain = entropy (average entropy of children)

31 Entropy as Attribute est! Back to our previous example

32 A More General Example B( 3 4 ) = 3 4 log log 1 4 = = B(1) = 0 B( 2 5 ) = 2 5 log log 3 5 = 0.97 B( 4 5 ) = 4 5 log log 1 5 = 0.72 Average entropy of children = 0.42 Reduction = 0.46

33 Pruning! It is still possible to grow very large trees! overfitting! Pruning! First grow a full tree! hen remove some nodes! (Why not just stop growing the tree earlier?)! Different pruning criteria! R&N: Chi-squared. How different are the children from the parents?! An easier possibility: use a test set to see if removing the node hurts generalization

34 Continuous Attributes 15 5 Wait estimate x Wait estimate > x ! Split on any threshold value x! Select attribute/threshold combination with best reduction in entropy

35 Miscellaneous! Issues to think/read about on your own! Entropy criteria tends to favor multi-valued attributes over binary attributes! Why?! Various fixes proposed in literature. Can you think of one?! Missing attributes! E.g., medical testing! How to handle these during prediction?! During training?

36 Geometric Interpretation! Axis-parallel splits

37 Geometric Interpretation! Can learn simple and complex boundaries x x x x 1

38 What You Should Know! op-down greedy learning for decision trees! Entropy splitting criteria! Continuous attributes
