Analysis and extension of decision trees based on imprecise probabilities: Application on noisy data

作者:

Highlights:

• A Decision Tree method based on imprecise probabilities is analyzed.

• A new model is presented where all input variables are processed with imprecision.

• Experiments on data sets with different levels of general noise are carried out.

• The new method obtains smaller trees and better results than the original method.

• The new method outperforms the classic ones on data set with general noise.
