<p>There are mainly two steps</p>
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li> We split the predictor space (the set of possible values \( x_1,x_2,\dots, x_p \)) into \( J \) distinct and non-non-overlapping regions, \( R_1,R_2,\dots,R_J \).</li>
|
||||
<li> For every observation that falls into the region \( R_j \) , we make the same prediction, which is simply the mean of the response values for the training observations in \( R_j \).</li>
|
||||
</ol>
|
||||
<p>How do we construct the regions \( R_1,\dots,R_J \)? In theory, the
|
||||
regions could have any shape. However, we choose to divide the
|
||||
predictor space into high-dimensional rectangles, or boxes, for
|
||||
simplicity and for ease of interpretation of the resulting predictive
|
||||
model. The goal is to find boxes \( R_1,\dots,R_J \) that minimize the
|
||||
MSE, given by
|
||||
<p>In order to implement the recursive binary splitting we start by selecting
|
||||
the predictor \( x_j \) and a cutpoint \( s \) that splits the predictor space into two regions \( R_1 \) and \( R_2 \)

||||

|
||||
$$
|
||||
\left\{X\vert x_j < s\right\},
|
||||
$$
|
||||
|
||||
<p>and</p>
|
||||
$$
|
||||
\left\{X\vert x_j \geq s\right\},
|
||||
$$
|
||||
|
||||
<p>so that we obtain the lowest MSE, that is</p>
|
||||
$$
|
||||
\sum_{i:x_i\in R_j}(y_i-\overline{y}_{R_1})^2+\sum_{i:x_i\in R_2}(y_i-\overline{y}_{R_2})^2,
|
||||
$$
|
||||
|
||||
<p>which we want to minimize by considering all predictors
|
||||
\( x_1,x_2,\dots,x_p \). We consider also all possible values of \( s \) for
|
||||
each predictor. These values could be determined by randomly assigned
|
||||
numbers or by starting at the midpoint and then proceed till we find
|
||||
an optimal value.

\sum_{j=1}^J\sum_{i\in R_j}(y_i-\overline{y}_{R_j})^2,
|
||||
$$
|
||||
<p>For any \( j \) and \( s \), we define the pair of half-planes where
|
||||
\( \overline{y}_{R_1} \) is the mean response for the training
|
||||
observations in \( R_1(j,s) \), and \( \overline{y}_{R_2} \) is the mean
|
||||
response for the training observations in \( R_2(j,s) \).
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>where \( \overline{y}_{R_j} \) is the mean response for the training observations
|
||||
within box \( j \).
|
||||
<p>Finding the values of \( j \) and \( s \) that minimize the above equation can be
|
||||
done quite quickly, especially when the number of features \( p \) is not
|
||||
too large.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Next, we repeat the process, looking
|
||||
for the best predictor and best cutpoint in order to split the data
|
||||
further so as to minimize the MSE within each of the resulting
|
||||
regions. However, this time, instead of splitting the entire predictor
|
||||
space, we split one of the two previously identified regions. We now
|
||||
have three regions. Again, we look to split one of these three regions
|
||||
further, so as to minimize the MSE. The process continues until a
|
||||
stopping criterion is reached; for instance, we may continue until no
|
||||
region contains more than five observations.
