  2. Agenda • Basics of Decision Tree • Introduction to ID3 • Entropy and Information Gain • Two Examples

  3. Basics • What is a decision tree? A tree where each branching (decision) node represents a choice between 2 or more alternatives, with every branching node being part of a path to a leaf node • Decision node: Specifies a test of some attribute • Leaf node: Indicates classification of an example

  4. ID3 • Invented by J. Ross Quinlan • Employs a top-down greedy search through the space of possible decision trees. Greedy because there is no backtracking. It picks highest values first. • Select attribute that is most useful for classifying examples (attribute that has the highest Information Gain).

  5. Entropy Entropy measures the impurity of an arbitrary collection of examples. For a collection S, entropy is given as: For a collection S having positive and negative examples Entropy(S) = -p+log2p+ - p-log2p- where p+ is the proportion of positive examples and p- is the proportion of negative examples In general, Entropy(S) = 0 if all members of S belong to the same class. Entropy(S) = 1 (maximum) when all members are split equally.

  6. Information Gain Measures the expected reduction in entropy. The higher the IG, more is the expected reduction in entropy. where Values(A) is the set of all possible values for attribute A, Sv is the subset of S for which attribute A has value v.

  7. Example 1 Sample training data to determine whether an animal lays eggs.

  8. Entropy(4Y,2N): -(4/6)log2(4/6) – (2/6)log2(2/6) = 0.91829 Now, we have to find the IG for all four attributes Warm-blooded, Feathers, Fur, Swims

  9. For attribute ‘Warm-blooded’: Values(Warm-blooded) : [Yes,No] S = [4Y,2N] SYes = [3Y,2N] E(SYes) = 0.97095 SNo = [1Y,0N] E(SNo) = 0 (all members belong to same class) Gain(S,Warm-blooded) = 0.91829 – [(5/6)*0.97095 + (1/6)*0] = 0.10916 For attribute ‘Feathers’: Values(Feathers) : [Yes,No] S = [4Y,2N] SYes = [3Y,0N] E(SYes) = 0 SNo = [1Y,2N] E(SNo) = 0.91829 Gain(S,Feathers) = 0.91829 – [(3/6)*0 + (3/6)*0.91829] = 0.45914

  10. For attribute ‘Fur’: Values(Fur) : [Yes,No] S = [4Y,2N] SYes = [0Y,1N] E(SYes) = 0 SNo = [4Y,1N] E(SNo) = 0.7219 Gain(S,Fur) = 0.91829 – [(1/6)*0 + (5/6)*0.7219] = 0.3167 For attribute ‘Swims’: Values(Swims) : [Yes,No] S = [4Y,2N] SYes = [1Y,1N] E(SYes) = 1 (equal members in both classes) SNo = [3Y,1N] E(SNo) = 0.81127 Gain(S,Swims) = 0.91829 – [(2/6)*1 + (4/6)*0.81127] = 0.04411

  11. Gain(S,Warm-blooded) = 0.10916 Gain(S,Feathers) = 0.45914 Gain(S,Fur) = 0.31670 Gain(S,Swims) = 0.04411 Gain(S,Feathers) is maximum, so it is considered as the root node Feathers Y N [Ostrich, Raven, Albatross] [Crocodile, Dolphin, Koala] Lays Eggs ? The ‘Y’ descendant has only positive examples and becomes the leaf node with classification ‘Lays Eggs’

  12. We now repeat the procedure, S: [Crocodile, Dolphin, Koala] S: [1+,2-] Entropy(S) = -(1/3)log2(1/3) – (2/3)log2(2/3) = 0.91829

  13. For attribute ‘Warm-blooded’: Values(Warm-blooded) : [Yes,No] S = [1Y,2N] SYes = [0Y,2N] E(SYes) = 0 SNo = [1Y,0N] E(SNo) = 0 Gain(S,Warm-blooded) = 0.91829 – [(2/3)*0 + (1/3)*0] = 0.91829 For attribute ‘Fur’: Values(Fur) : [Yes,No] S = [1Y,2N] SYes = [0Y,1N] E(SYes) = 0 SNo = [1Y,1N] E(SNo) = 1 Gain(S,Fur) = 0.91829 – [(1/3)*0 + (2/3)*1] = 0.25162 For attribute ‘Swims’: Values(Swims) : [Yes,No] S = [1Y,2N] SYes = [1Y,1N] E(SYes) = 1 SNo = [0Y,1N] E(SNo) = 0 Gain(S,Swims) = 0.91829 – [(2/3)*1 + (1/3)*0] = 0.25162 Gain(S,Warm-blooded) is maximum

  14. The final decision tree will be: Feathers Y N Lays eggs Warm-blooded Y N Does not lay eggs Lays Eggs

  15. Factors affecting sunburn Example 2

  16. In this case, the final decision tree will be Hair Blonde Brown Red Sunburned Not Sunburned Lotion N Y Not Sunburned Sunburned
