<h2 id="building-a-tree-regression">Building a tree, regression </h2>
<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>
$$
\sum_{j=1}^J\sum_{i\in R_j}(y_i-\overline{y}_{R_j})^2,
$$
<p>where \( \overline{y}_{R_j} \) is the mean response for the training observations
within box \( j \).
</p>
<!-- !split --><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>
<h2 id="a-top-down-approach-recursive-binary-splitting">A top-down approach, recursive binary splitting </h2>
<p>Unfortunately, it is computationally infeasible to consider every
possible partition of the feature space into \( J \) boxes. The common
strategy is to take a top-down approach
</p>
<p>The approach is top-down because it begins at the top of the tree (all
observations belong to a single region) and then successively splits
the predictor space; each split is indicated via two new branches
further down on the tree. It is greedy because at each step of the
tree-building process, the best split is made at that particular step,
rather than looking ahead and picking a split that will lead to a
better tree in some future step.
</p>
<!-- !split --><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>
<h2 id="making-a-tree">Making a tree </h2>
<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 \( R_2 \)
</p>
$$
\left\{X\vert x_j < s\right\},
$$
<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.
</p>
<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>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.
</p>
<!-- !split -->
<h2 id="pruning-the-tree">Pruning the tree </h2>
<p>The above procedure is rather straightforward, but leads often to
overfitting and unnecessarily large and complicated trees. The basic
idea is to grow a large tree \( T_0 \) and then prune it back in order to
obtain a subtree. A smaller tree with fewer splits (fewer regions) can
lead to smaller variance and better interpretation at the cost of a
little more bias.
</p>
<p>The so-called Cost complexity pruning algorithm gives us a
way to do just this. Rather than considering every possible subtree,
we consider a sequence of trees indexed by a nonnegative tuning
parameter \( \alpha \).
</p>
<p>Read more at the following <a href="https://scikit-learn.org/stable/auto_examples/tree/plot_cost_complexity_pruning.html#sphx-glr-auto-examples-tree-plot-cost-complexity-pruning-py" target="_blank">Scikit-Learn link on pruning</a>.</p>
<!-- !split --><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>
<h2 id="cost-complexity-pruning">Cost complexity pruning </h2>
<p>For each value of \( \alpha \) there corresponds a subtree \( T \in T_0 \) such that</p>
$$
\sum_{m=1}^{\overline{T}}\sum_{i:x_i\in R_m}(y_i-\overline{y}_{R_m})^2+\alpha\overline{T},
$$
<p>is as small as possible. Here \( \overline{T} \) is
the number of terminal nodes of the tree \( T \) , \( R_m \) is the
rectangle (i.e. the subset of predictor space) corresponding to the \( m \)-th terminal node.
</p>
<p>The tuning parameter \( \alpha \) controls a trade-off between the subtree&#8217;s
complexity and its fit to the training data. When \( \alpha = 0 \), then the
subtree \( T \) will simply equal \( T_0 \),
because then the above equation just measures the
training error.
However, as \( \alpha \) increases, there is a price to pay for
having a tree with many terminal nodes. The above equation will
tend to be minimized for a smaller subtree.
</p>
<p>It turns out that as we increase \( \alpha \) from zero
branches get pruned from the tree in a nested and predictable fashion,
so obtaining the whole sequence of subtrees as a function of \( \alpha \) is
easy. We can select a value of \( \alpha \) using a validation set or using
cross-validation. We then return to the full data set and obtain the
subtree corresponding to \( \alpha \).

<ol>
<li> Use recursive binary splitting to grow a large tree on the training data, stopping only when each terminal node has fewer than some minimum number of observations.</li>
<li> Apply cost complexity pruning to the large tree in order to obtain a sequence of best subtrees, as a function of \( \alpha \).</li>
<li> Use for example \( K \)-fold cross-validation to choose \( \alpha \). Divide the training observations into \( K \) folds. For each \( k=1,2,\dots,K \) we:</li>
<ul>
<li> repeat steps 1 and 2 on all but the \( k \)-th fold of the training data.</li>
<li> Then we valuate the mean squared prediction error on the data in the left-out \( k \)-th fold, as a function of \( \alpha \).</li>
<li> Finally we average the results for each value of \( \alpha \), and pick \( \alpha \) to minimize the average error.</li>

<h2 id="a-classification-tree">A Classification Tree </h2>
<p>A classification tree is very similar to a regression tree, except
that it is used to predict a qualitative response rather than a
quantitative one. Recall that for a regression tree, the predicted
response for an observation is given by the mean response of the
training observations that belong to the same terminal node. In
contrast, for a classification tree, we predict that each observation
belongs to the most commonly occurring class of training observations
in the region to which it belongs. In interpreting the results of a
classification tree, we are often interested not only in the class
prediction corresponding to a particular terminal node region, but
also in the class proportions among the training observations that
fall into that region.
</p>
<!-- !split --><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>
<h2 id="growing-a-classification-tree">Growing a classification tree </h2>
<p>The task of growing a
classification tree is quite similar to the task of growing a
regression tree. Just as in the regression setting, we use recursive
binary splitting to grow a classification tree. However, in the
classification setting, the MSE cannot be used as a criterion for making
the binary splits. A natural alternative to MSE is the <b>classification
error rate</b>. Since we plan to assign an observation in a given region
to the most commonly occurring error rate class of training
observations in that region, the classification error rate is simply
the fraction of the training observations in that region that do not
belong to the most common class.
</p>
<p>When building a classification tree, either the Gini index or the
entropy are typically used to evaluate the quality of a particular
split, since these two approaches are more sensitive to node purity
than is the classification error rate.
</p>

<h2 id="classification-tree-how-to-split-nodes">Classification tree, how to split nodes </h2>
<p>If our targets are the outcome of a classification process that takes
for example \( k=1,2,\dots,K \) values, the only thing we need to think of
is to set up the splitting criteria for each node.
</p>
<p>We define a PDF \( p_{mk} \) that represents the number of observations of
a class \( k \) in a region \( R_m \) with \( N_m \) observations. We represent
this likelihood function in terms of the proportion \( I(y_i=k) \) of
observations of this class in the region \( R_m \) as
</p>
$$
p_{mk} = \frac{1}{N_m}\sum_{x_i\in R_m}I(y_i=k).

<h2 id="algorithms-for-setting-up-decision-trees">Algorithms for Setting up Decision Trees </h2>
<p>Two algorithms stand out in the set up of decision trees:</p>
<ol>
<li> The CART (Classification And Regression Tree) algorithm for both classification and regression</li>
<li> The ID3 algorithm based on the computation of the information gain for classification</li>
</ol>
<p>We discuss both algorithms with applications here. The popular library
<b>Scikit-Learn</b> uses the CART algorithm. For classification problems
you can use either the <b>gini</b> index or the <b>entropy</b> to split a tree
in two branches.
</p>
<!-- !split --><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>
<h2 id="the-cart-algorithm-for-classification">The CART algorithm for Classification </h2>
<p>For classification, the CART algorithm splits the data set in two subsets using a single feature \( k \) and a threshold \( t_k \).
This could be for example a threshold set by a number below a certain circumference of a malign tumor.
</p>
<p>How do we find these two quantities?
We search for the pair \( (k,t_k) \) that produces the purest subset using for example the <b>gini</b> factor \( G \).
The cost function it tries to minimize is then
</p>
$$
C(k,t_k) = \frac{m_{\mathrm{left}}}{m}G_{\mathrm{left}}+ \frac{m_{\mathrm{right}}}{m}G_{\mathrm{right}},
$$
<p>where \( G_{\mathrm{left/right}} \) measures the impurity of the left/right subset and \( m_{\mathrm{left/right}} \)
is the number of instances in the left/right subset
</p>
<p>Once it has successfully split the training set in two, it splits the subsets using the same logic, then the subsubsets
and so on, recursively. It stops recursing once it reaches the maximum depth (defined by the
\( max\_depth \) hyperparameter), or if it cannot find a split that will reduce impurity. A few other
hyperparameters control additional stopping conditions such as the \( min\_samples\_split \),
\( min\_samples\_leaf \), \( min\_weight\_fraction\_leaf \), and \( max\_leaf\_nodes \).
</p>
<!-- !split --><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>
<h2 id="the-cart-algorithm-for-regression">The CART algorithm for Regression </h2>
<p>The CART algorithm for regression works is similar to the one for classification except that instead of trying to split the
training set in a way that minimizes say the <b>gini</b> or <b>entropy</b> impurity, it now tries to split the training set in a way that minimizes our well-known mean-squared error (MSE). The cost function is now
</p>
$$
C(k,t_k) = \frac{m_{\mathrm{left}}}{m}\mathrm{MSE}_{\mathrm{left}}+ \frac{m_{\mathrm{right}}}{m}\mathrm{MSE}_{\mathrm{right}}.
$$
<p>Here the MSE for a specific node is defined as</p>
$$
\mathrm{MSE}_{\mathrm{node}}=\frac{1}{m_\mathrm{node}}\sum_{i\in \mathrm{node}}(\overline{y}_{\mathrm{node}}-y_i)^2,
$$
<p>with</p>
$$
\overline{y}_{\mathrm{node}}=\frac{1}{m_\mathrm{node}}\sum_{i\in \mathrm{node}}y_i,
$$
<p>the mean value of all observations in a specific node.</p>
<p>Without any regularization, the regression task for decision trees,
just like for classification tasks, is prone to overfitting.

<h2 id="why-binary-splits">Why binary splits? </h2>
<p>It is custom to split to a tree uising binary splits. The reason is
that multiway splits fragment the data too quickly, leaving
insufficient data at the next level down. Multiway splits can be
achieved by a series of binary split and this is normally preferred.

<p>Consider the following example with attributes/features and two
possible outcomes (classes) for each attribute. Assume we wish to find some
correlations between the average grade of a student as function of the
number of hours studied and hours slept. We want also to correlate the
grade in a given course with the general trend, whether the students
recently has gotten grades below average or above.
</p>
<p>We have three features/attributes</p>
<ol>
<li> Trend of average grades before present course, classified as either below or above the average grade of the whole class</li>
<li> The number of hours studies, classified again as either higher (more than 3 hours per day) or lower . Here we have used a standard for one \( ECTS \) which is scaled to 25-30 hours of work for a semester which lasts 18 weeks, with 15 weeks of lectures and 3 weeks for exams, assuming a total of 30 ECTS per semester.</li>
<li> The number of hours slept as high for more than \( 8 \) hours and below for less than 8 hours of sleep, classified again as either high or low</li>
<li> The final grade whether it is above or below average</li>

<h2 id="further-example-computing-the-gini-index">Further example: Computing the Gini index </h2>
<p>The next example we will look at is a classical one in many Machine
Learning applications. Based on various meteorological features, we
have several so-called attributes which decide whether we at the end
will do some outdoor activity like skiing, going for a bike ride etc
etc. The table here contains the feautures <b>outlook</b>, <b>temperature</b>,
<b>humidity</b> and <b>wind</b>. The target or output is whether we ride
(True=1) or whether we do something else that day (False=0). The
attributes for each feature are then sunny, overcast and rain for the
outlook, hot, cold and mild for temperature, high and normal for
humidity and weak and strong for wind.
</p>
<p>The table here summarizes the various attributes and</p>

<h2 id="pros-and-cons-of-trees-pros">Pros and cons of trees, pros </h2>
<ul>
<li> White box, easy to interpret model. Some people believe that decision trees more closely mirror human decision-making than do the regression and classification approaches discussed earlier (think of support vector machines)</li>
<li> Trees are very easy to explain to people. In fact, they are even easier to explain than linear regression!</li>
<li> No feature normalization needed</li>
<li> Tree models can handle both continuous and categorical data (Classification and Regression Trees)</li>
<li> Can model nonlinear relationships</li>
<li> Can model interactions between the different descriptive features</li>
<li> Trees can be displayed graphically, and are easily interpreted even by a non-expert (especially if they are small)</li>
</ul>
<!-- !split --><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>
<h2 id="disadvantages">Disadvantages </h2>
<ul>
<li> Unfortunately, trees generally do not have the same level of predictive accuracy as some of the other regression and classification approaches</li>
<li> If continuous features are used the tree may become quite large and hence less interpretable</li>
<li> Decision trees are prone to overfit the training data and hence do not well generalize the data if no stopping criteria or improvements like pruning, boosting or bagging are implemented</li>
<li> Small changes in the data may lead to a completely different tree. This issue can be addressed by using ensemble methods like bagging, boosting or random forests</li>
<li> Unbalanced datasets where some target feature values occur much more frequently than others may lead to biased trees since the frequently occurring feature values are preferred over the less frequently occurring ones.</li>
<li> If the number of features is relatively large (high dimensional) and the number of instances is relatively low, the tree might overfit the data</li>
<li> Features with many levels may be preferred over features with less levels since for them it is <em>more easy</em> to split the dataset such that the sub datasets only contain pure target feature values. This issue can be addressed by preferring for instance the information gain ratio as splitting criteria over information gain</li>
</ul>
<p>However, by aggregating many decision trees, using methods like
bagging, random forests, and boosting, the predictive performance of
trees can be substantially improved.

<h2 id="ensemble-methods-from-a-single-tree-to-many-trees-and-extreme-boosting-meet-the-jungle-of-methods">Ensemble Methods: From a Single Tree to Many Trees and Extreme Boosting, Meet the Jungle of Methods </h2>
<p>As stated above and seen in many of the examples discussed here about
a single decision tree, we often end up overfitting our training
data. This normally means that we have a high variance. Can we reduce
the variance of a statistical learning method?
</p>
<p>This leads us to a set of different methods that can combine different
machine learning algorithms or just use one of them to construct
forests and jungles of trees, homogeneous ones or heterogenous
ones. These methods are recognized by different names which we will
try to explain here. These are
</p>
<ol>
<li> Voting classifiers</li>
<li> Bagging and Pasting</li>
<li> Random forests</li>
<li> Boosting methods, from adaptive to Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost)</li>
</ol>
<p>We discuss these methods here.</p>

<h2 id="why-voting">Why Voting? </h2>
<p>The idea behind boosting, and voting as well can be phrased as follows:
<b>Can a group of people somehow arrive at highly
reasoned decisions, despite the weak judgement of the individual
members?</b>
</p>
<p>The aim is to create a good classifier by combining several weak classifiers.
<b>A weak classifier is a classifier which is able to produce results that are only slightly better than guessing at random.</b>
</p>
<p>The basic approach is to apply repeatedly (in boosting this is done in an iterative way) a weak classifier to modifications of the data.
In voting we simply apply the law of large numbers while in boosting we give more weight to misclassified data in
each iteration.
</p>
<p>Decision trees play an important role as our weak classifier. They serve as the basic method. </p>

<h2 id="tossing-coins">Tossing coins </h2>
<p>The simplest case is a so-called voting ensemble. To illustrate this,
think of yourself tossing coins with a biased outcome of 51 per cent
for heads and 49% for tails. With only few tosses,
you may not clearly see this distribution for heads and tails. However, after some
thousands of tosses, there will be a clear majority of heads. With 2000 tosses
you should see approximately 1020 heads and 980 tails.
</p>
<p>We can then state that the outcome is a clear majority of heads. If
you do this ten thousand times, it is easy to see that there is a 97%
likelihood of a majority of heads.
</p>
<p>Another example would be to collect all polls before an
election. Different polls may show different likelihoods for a
candidate winning with say a majority of the popular vote. The majority vote
would then consist in many polls indicating that this candidate will
actually win.
</p>
<p>The example here shows how we can implement the coin tossing case,
clealry demostrating that after some tosses we see the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_large_numbers" target="_blank">law of large</a>
numbers kicking in.

<h2 id="bagging">Bagging </h2>
<p>The <b>plain</b> decision trees suffer from high
variance. This means that if we split the training data into two parts
at random, and fit a decision tree to both halves, the results that we
get could be quite different. In contrast, a procedure with low
variance will yield similar results if applied repeatedly to distinct
data sets; linear regression tends to have low variance, if the ratio
of \( n \) to \( p \) is moderately large.
</p>
<p><b>Bootstrap aggregation</b>, or just <b>bagging</b>, is a
general-purpose procedure for reducing the variance of a statistical
learning method.
</p>
<!-- !split --><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>
<h2 id="more-bagging">More bagging </h2>
<p>Bagging typically results in improved accuracy
over prediction using a single tree. Unfortunately, however, it can be
difficult to interpret the resulting model. Recall that one of the
advantages of decision trees is the attractive and easily interpreted
diagram that results.
</p>
<p>However, when we bag a large number of trees, it is no longer
possible to represent the resulting statistical learning procedure
using a single tree, and it is no longer clear which variables are
most important to the procedure. Thus, bagging improves prediction
accuracy at the expense of interpretability. Although the collection
of bagged trees is much more difficult to interpret than a single
tree, one can obtain an overall summary of the importance of each
predictor using the MSE (for bagging regression trees) or the Gini
index (for bagging classification trees). In the case of bagging
regression trees, we can record the total amount that the MSE is
decreased due to splits over a given predictor, averaged over all \( B \) possible
trees. A large value indicates an important predictor. Similarly, in
the context of bagging classification trees, we can add up the total
amount that the Gini index is decreased by splits over a given
predictor, averaged over all \( B \) trees.

<h2 id="making-your-own-bootstrap-changing-the-level-of-the-decision-tree">Making your own Bootstrap: Changing the Level of the Decision Tree </h2>
<p>Let us bring up our good old boostrap example from the linear regression lectures. We change the linerar regression algorithm with
a decision tree wth different depths and perform a bootstrap aggregate (in this case we perform as many bootstraps as data points \( n \)).

<h2 id="random-forests">Random forests </h2>
<p>Random forests provide an improvement over bagged trees by way of a
small tweak that decorrelates the trees.
</p>
<p>As in bagging, we build a
number of decision trees on bootstrapped training samples. But when
building these decision trees, each time a split in a tree is
considered, a random sample of \( m \) predictors is chosen as split
candidates from the full set of \( p \) predictors. The split is allowed to
use only one of those \( m \) predictors.
</p>
<p>A fresh sample of \( m \) predictors is
taken at each split, and typically we choose
</p>
$$
m\approx \sqrt{p}.
$$
<p>In building a random forest, at
each split in the tree, the algorithm is not even allowed to consider
a majority of the available predictors.
</p>
<p>The reason for this is rather clever. Suppose that there is one very
strong predictor in the data set, along with a number of other
moderately strong predictors. Then in the collection of bagged
variable importance random forest trees, most or all of the trees will
use this strong predictor in the top split. Consequently, all of the
bagged trees will look quite similar to each other. Hence the
predictions from the bagged trees will be highly correlated.
Unfortunately, averaging many highly correlated quantities does not
lead to as large of a reduction in variance as averaging many
uncorrelated quantities. In particular, this means that bagging will
not lead to a substantial reduction in variance over a single tree in
this setting.

<p>Recall that the cumulative gains curve shows the percentage of the
overall number of cases in a given category <em>gained</em> by targeting a
percentage of the total number of cases.
</p>
<p>Similarly, the receiver operating characteristic curve, or ROC curve,
displays the diagnostic ability of a binary classifier system as its
discrimination threshold is varied. It plots the true positive rate against the false positive rate.

<h2 id="boosting-a-bird-s-eye-view">Boosting, a Bird's Eye View </h2>
<p>The basic idea is to combine weak classifiers in order to create a good
classifier. With a weak classifier we often intend a classifier which
produces results which are only slightly better than we would get by
random guesses.
</p>
<p>This is done by applying in an iterative way a weak (or a standard
classifier like decision trees) to modify the data. In each iteration
we emphasize those observations which are misclassified by weighting
them with a factor.
</p>
<!-- !split --><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>
<h2 id="what-is-boosting-additive-modelling-iterative-fitting">What is boosting? Additive Modelling/Iterative Fitting </h2>
<p>Boosting is a way of fitting an additive expansion in a set of
elementary basis functions like for example some simple polynomials.
Assume for example that we have a function
</p>
$$
f_M(x) = \sum_{i=1}^M \beta_m b(x;\gamma_m),
$$
<p>where \( \beta_m \) are the expansion parameters to be determined in a
minimization process and \( b(x;\gamma_m) \) are some simple functions of
the multivariable parameter \( x \) which is characterized by the
parameters \( \gamma_m \).
</p>
<p>As an example, consider the Sigmoid function we used in logistic
regression. In that case, we can translate the function
\( b(x;\gamma_m) \) into the Sigmoid function
</p>
$$
\sigma(t) = \frac{1}{1+\exp{(-t)}},
$$
<p>where \( t=\gamma_0+\gamma_1 x \) and the parameters \( \gamma_0 \) and
\( \gamma_1 \) were determined by the Logistic Regression fitting
algorithm.
</p>
<p>As another example, consider the cost function we defined for linear regression</p>
$$
C(\boldsymbol{y},\boldsymbol{f}) = \frac{1}{n} \sum_{i=0}^{n-1}(y_i-f(x_i))^2.
$$
<p>In this case the function \( f(x) \) was replaced by the design matrix
\( \boldsymbol{X} \) and the unknown linear regression parameters \( \boldsymbol{\beta} \),
that is \( \boldsymbol{f}=\boldsymbol{X}\boldsymbol{\beta} \). In linear regression we can
simply invert a matrix and obtain the parameters \( \beta \) by
</p>
$$
\boldsymbol{\beta}=\left(\boldsymbol{X}^T\boldsymbol{X}\right)^{-1}\boldsymbol{X}^T\boldsymbol{y}.
$$
<p>In iterative fitting or additive modeling, we minimize the cost function with respect to the parameters \( \beta_m \) and \( \gamma_m \).</p>
<!-- !split --><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>
<h2 id="iterative-fitting-regression-and-squared-error-cost-function">Iterative Fitting, Regression and Squared-error Cost Function </h2>
<p>The way we proceed is as follows (here we specialize to the squared-error cost function)</p>
<ol>
<li> Establish a cost function, here \( {\cal C}(\boldsymbol{y},\boldsymbol{f}) = \frac{1}{n} \sum_{i=0}^{n-1}(y_i-f_M(x_i))^2 \) with \( f_M(x) = \sum_{i=1}^M \beta_m b(x;\gamma_m) \).</li>
<li> Initialize with a guess \( f_0(x) \). It could be one or even zero or some random numbers.</li>
<li> For \( m=1:M \)
<ol type="a"></li>
<li> minimize \( \sum_{i=0}^{n-1}(y_i-f_{m-1}(x_i)-\beta b(x;\gamma))^2 \) wrt \( \gamma \) and \( \beta \)</li>
<li> This gives the optimal values \( \beta_m \) and \( \gamma_m \)</li>
<li> Determine then the new values \( f_m(x)=f_{m-1}(x) +\beta_m b(x;\gamma_m) \)</li>
</ol>
</ol>
<p>We could use any of the algorithms we have discussed till now. If we
use trees, \( \gamma \) parameterizes the split variables and split points
at the internal nodes, and the predictions at the terminal nodes.

<h2 id="squared-error-example-and-iterative-fitting">Squared-Error Example and Iterative Fitting </h2>
<p>To better understand what happens, let us develop the steps for the iterative fitting using the above squared error function.</p>
<p>For simplicity we assume also that our functions \( b(x;\gamma)=1+\gamma x \). </p>
<p>This means that for every iteration \( m \), we need to optimize</p>
$$
(\beta_m,\gamma_m) = \mathrm{argmin}_{\beta,\lambda}\hspace{0.1cm} \sum_{i=0}^{n-1}(y_i-f_{m-1}(x_i)-\beta b(x;\gamma))^2=\sum_{i=0}^{n-1}(y_i-f_{m-1}(x_i)-\beta(1+\gamma x_i))^2.
$$
<p>We start our iteration by simply setting \( f_0(x)=0 \).
Taking the derivatives with respect to \( \beta \) and \( \gamma \) we obtain
</p>
$$
\frac{\partial {\cal C}}{\partial \beta} = -2\sum_{i}(1+\gamma x_i)(y_i-\beta(1+\gamma x_i))=0,
$$
<p>and</p>
$$
\frac{\partial {\cal C}}{\partial \gamma} =-2\sum_{i}\beta x_i(y_i-\beta(1+\gamma x_i))=0.
$$
<p>We can then rewrite these equations as (defining \( \boldsymbol{w}=\boldsymbol{e}+\gamma \boldsymbol{x}) \) with \( \boldsymbol{e} \) being the unit vector)</p>
$$
\gamma \boldsymbol{w}^T(\boldsymbol{y}-\beta\gamma \boldsymbol{w})=0,
$$
<p>which gives us \( \beta = \boldsymbol{w}^T\boldsymbol{y}/(\boldsymbol{w}^T\boldsymbol{w}) \). Similarly we have </p>
$$
\beta\gamma \boldsymbol{x}^T(\boldsymbol{y}-\beta(1+\gamma \boldsymbol{x}))=0,
$$
<p>which leads to \( \gamma =(\boldsymbol{x}^T\boldsymbol{y}-\beta\boldsymbol{x}^T\boldsymbol{e})/(\beta\boldsymbol{x}^T\boldsymbol{x}) \). Inserting
for \( \beta \) gives us an equation for \( \gamma \). This is a non-linear equation in the unknown \( \gamma \) and has to be solved numerically.
</p>
<p>The solution to these two equations gives us in turn \( \beta_1 \) and \( \gamma_1 \) leading to the new expression for \( f_1(x) \) as
\( f_1(x) = \beta_1(1+\gamma_1x) \). Doing this \( M \) times results in our final estimate for the function \( f \).

<p>Let us consider a binary classification problem with two outcomes \( y_i \in \{-1,1\} \) and \( i=0,1,2,\dots,n-1 \) as our set of
observations. We define a classification function \( G(x) \) which produces a prediction taking one or the other of the two values
\( \{-1,1\} \).
</p>
<p>The error rate of the training sample is then</p>
$$
\mathrm{\overline{err}}=\frac{1}{n} \sum_{i=0}^{n-1} I(y_i\ne G(x_i)).
$$
<p>The iterative procedure starts with defining a weak classifier whose
error rate is barely better than random guessing. The iterative
procedure in boosting is to sequentially apply a weak
classification algorithm to repeatedly modified versions of the data
producing a sequence of weak classifiers \( G_m(x) \).
</p>
<p>Here we will express our function \( f(x) \) in terms of \( G(x) \). That is</p>
$$
f_M(x) = \sum_{i=1}^M \beta_m b(x;\gamma_m),

<p>will be a function of </p>
$$
G_M(x) = \mathrm{sign} \sum_{i=1}^M \alpha_m G_m(x).

<p>In our iterative procedure we define thus</p>

f_m(x) = f_{m-1}(x)+\beta_mG_m(x).
$$
<p>The simplest possible cost function which leads (also simple from a computational point of view) to the AdaBoost algorithm is the
exponential cost/loss function defined as
</p>
$$
C(\boldsymbol{y},\boldsymbol{f}) = \sum_{i=0}^{n-1}\exp{(-y_i(f_{m-1}(x_i)+\beta G(x_i))}.
$$
<p>We optimize \( \beta \) and \( G \) for each value of \( m=1:M \) as we did in the regression case.

<h2 id="adaptive-boosting-adaboost-basic-algorithm">Adaptive boosting: AdaBoost, Basic Algorithm </h2>
<p>The algorithm here is rather straightforward. Assume that our weak
classifier is a decision tree and we consider a binary set of outputs
with \( y_i \in \{-1,1\} \) and \( i=0,1,2,\dots,n-1 \) as our set of
observations. Our design matrix is given in terms of the
feature/predictor vectors
\( \boldsymbol{X}=[\boldsymbol{x}_0\boldsymbol{x}_1\dots\boldsymbol{x}_{p-1}] \). Finally, we define also a
classifier determined by our data via a function \( G(x) \). This function tells us how well we are able to classify our outputs/targets \( \boldsymbol{y} \).
</p>
<p>We have already defined the misclassification error \( \mathrm{err} \) as</p>
$$
\mathrm{err}=\frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=0}^{n-1}I(y_i\ne G(x_i)),
$$
<p>where the function \( I() \) is one if we misclassify and zero if we classify correctly. </p>
<!-- !split --><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>
<h2 id="basic-steps-of-adaboost">Basic Steps of AdaBoost </h2>
<p>With the above definitions we are now ready to set up the algorithm for AdaBoost.
The basic idea is to set up weights which will be used to scale the correctly classified and the misclassified cases.
</p>
<ol>
<li> We start by initializing all weights to \( w_i = 1/n \), with \( i=0,1,2,\dots n-1 \). It is easy to see that we must have \( \sum_{i=0}^{n-1}w_i = 1 \).</li>
<li> We rewrite the misclassification error as</li>
</ol>
$$
\mathrm{\overline{err}}_m=\frac{\sum_{i=0}^{n-1}w_i^m I(y_i\ne G(x_i))}{\sum_{i=0}^{n-1}w_i},
$$
<ol>
<li> Then we start looping over all attempts at classifying, namely we start an iterative process for \( m=1:M \), where \( M \) is the final number of classifications. Our given classifier could for example be a plain decision tree.
<ol type="a"></li>
<li> Fit then a given classifier to the training set using the weights \( w_i \).</li>
<li> Compute then \( \mathrm{err} \) and figure out which events are classified properly and which are classified wrongly.</li>
<li> Define a quantity \( \alpha_{m} = \log{(1-\mathrm{\overline{err}}_m)/\mathrm{\overline{err}}_m} \)</li>
<li> Set the new weights to \( w_i = w_i\times \exp{(\alpha_m I(y_i\ne G(x_i)} \).</li>
</ol>
<li> Compute the new classifier \( G(x)= \sum_{i=0}^{n-1}\alpha_m I(y_i\ne G(x_i) \).</li>
</ol>
<p>For the iterations with \( m \le 2 \) the weights are modified
individually at each steps. The observations which were misclassified
at iteration \( m-1 \) have a weight which is larger than those which were
classified properly. As this proceeds, the observations which were
difficult to classifiy correctly are given a larger influence. Each
new classification step \( m \) is then forced to concentrate on those
observations that are missed in the previous iterations.

bringing back the essential steps in linear regression, where our cost
function was the least squares function.
</p>
<!-- !split --><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>
<h2 id="the-squared-error-again-steepest-descent">The Squared-Error again! Steepest Descent </h2>
<p>We start again with our cost function \( {\cal C}(\boldsymbol{y}m\boldsymbol{f})=\sum_{i=0}^{n-1}{\cal L}(y_i, f(x_i)) \) where we want to minimize
This means that for every iteration, we need to optimize
</p>
$$
(\hat{\boldsymbol{f}}) = \mathrm{argmin}_{\boldsymbol{f}}\hspace{0.1cm} \sum_{i=0}^{n-1}(y_i-f(x_i))^2.
$$
<p>We define a real function \( h_m(x) \) that defines our final function \( f_M(x) \) as</p>
$$
f_M(x) = \sum_{m=0}^M h_m(x).
$$
<p>In the steepest decent approach we approximate \( h_m(x) = -\rho_m g_m(x) \), where \( \rho_m \) is a scalar and \( g_m(x) \) the gradient defined as</p>
$$
g_m(x_i) = \left[ \frac{\partial {\cal L}(y_i, f(x_i))}{\partial f(x_i)}\right]_{f(x_i)=f_{m-1}(x_i)}.
$$
<p>With the new gradient we can update \( f_m(x) = f_{m-1}(x) -\rho_m g_m(x) \). Using the above squared-error function we see that
the gradient is \( g_m(x_i) = -2(y_i-f(x_i)) \).
</p>
<p>Choosing \( f_0(x)=0 \) we obtain \( g_m(x) = -2y_i \) and inserting this into the minimization problem for the cost function we have</p>
$$
(\rho_1) = \mathrm{argmin}_{\rho}\hspace{0.1cm} \sum_{i=0}^{n-1}(y_i+2\rho y_i)^2.
$$
<!-- !split --><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>
<h2 id="steepest-descent-example">Steepest Descent Example </h2>
<p>Optimizing with respect to \( \rho \) we obtain (taking the derivative) that \( \rho_1 = -1/2 \). We have then that</p>
$$
f_1(x) = f_{0}(x) -\rho_1 g_1(x)=-y_i.
$$
<p>We can then proceed and compute</p>
$$
g_2(x_i) = \left[ \frac{\partial {\cal L}(y_i, f(x_i))}{\partial f(x_i)}\right]_{f(x_i)=f_{1}(x_i)=y_i}=-4y_i,
$$
<p>and find a new value for \( \rho_2=-1/2 \) and continue till we have reached \( m=M \). We can modify the steepest descent method, or steepest boosting, by introducing what is called <b>gradient boosting</b>. </p>
<!-- !split --><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>
<h2 id="gradient-boosting-algorithm">Gradient Boosting, algorithm </h2>
<p>Steepest descent is however not much used, since it only optimizes \( f \) at a fixed set of \( n \) points,
so we do not learn a function that can generalize. However, we can modify the algorithm by
fitting a weak learner to approximate the negative gradient signal.
</p>
<p>Suppose we have a cost function \( C(f)=\sum_{i=0}^{n-1}L(y_i, f(x_i)) \) where \( y_i \) is our target and \( f(x_i) \) the function which is meant to model \( y_i \). The above cost function could be our standard squared-error function</p>
$$
C(\boldsymbol{y},\boldsymbol{f})=\sum_{i=0}^{n-1}(y_i-f(x_i))^2.
$$
<p>The way we proceed in an iterative fashion is to</p>
<ol>
<li> Initialize our estimate \( f_0(x) \).</li>
<li> For \( m=1:M \), we
<ol type="a"></li>
<li> compute the negative gradient vector \( \boldsymbol{u}_m = -\partial C(\boldsymbol{y},\boldsymbol{f})/\partial \boldsymbol{f}(x) \) at \( f(x) = f_{m-1}(x) \);</li>
<li> fit the so-called base-learner to the negative gradient \( h_m(u_m,x) \);</li>
<li> update the estimate \( f_m(x) = f_{m-1}(x)+h_m(u_m,x) \);</li>
</ol>
<li> The final estimate is then \( f_M(x) = \sum_{m=1}^M h_m(u_m,x) \).</li>
</ol>

<p><a href="https://github.com/dmlc/xgboost" target="_blank">XGBoost</a> or Extreme Gradient
Boosting, is an optimized distributed gradient boosting library
designed to be highly efficient, flexible and portable. It implements
machine learning algorithms under the Gradient Boosting
framework. XGBoost provides a parallel tree boosting that solve many
data science problems in a fast and accurate way. See the <a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/1603.02754" target="_blank">article by Chen and Guestrin</a>.
</p>
<p>The authors design and build a highly scalable end-to-end tree
boosting system. It has a theoretically justified weighted quantile
sketch for efficient proposal calculation. It introduces a novel sparsity-aware algorithm for parallel tree learning and an effective cache-aware block structure for out-of-core tree learning.
</p>
<p>It is now the algorithm which wins essentially all ML competitions!!!</p>
