A Comparison of Decision Tree Pruning Strategies By: Sherry Whitaker
A Comparison of Decision Tree Pruning Strategies (Problem) • Avoid overfitting when using Decision Trees • Pre- and Post-Pruning Methods • Determine how tree structure differs when using different pruning strategies
A Comparison of Decision Tree Pruning Strategies (Approach) • 5 genes from Leukemia Dataset from Homework 1 and 2 • Walkthrough several algorithms for pruning using this data • Summarize how each of the pruning strategies affected the design of the decision tree.
