Oblique predictive clustering trees

作者:

Highlights:

• Ensembles of predictive clustering trees scale poorly with the number of targets.

• Oblique predictive clustering trees use linear combinations of features in the splits.

• The proposed methods retain or improve the premium accuracy of ensembles of trees.

• Our methods scale much better to high dimensional outputs and exploit sparse data.

• Meaningful feature importance scores can be extracted from ensembles of oblique trees.
