Decision tree analysis for prostate cancer prediction [PDF]
Introduction/Objective. The use of serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test has dramatically increased the number of men undergoing prostate biopsy. However, the best possible strategies for selecting appropriate patients for prostate biopsy have yet ...

This paper describes experiments, on two domains, to investigate the effect of averaging over predictions of multiple decision trees, instead of using a single tree. Other authors have pointed out theoretical and commonsense reasons for preferring the multiple tree approach.

Uncovering causal relationships in data is a major objective of data analytics. Causal relationships are normally discovered with designed experiments, e.g. randomised controlled trials, which, however are expensive or infeasible to be conducted in many cases.

Inositol pyrophosphates are energy‐rich signaling molecules that perform critical functions in cells. Three different families of phosphatases hydrolyze the β phosphate of the inositol pyrophosphate molecules: two have narrow specificities and one is promiscuous.

Decision Trees are a common approach used for classifying unseen data into defined classes. The Information Gain is usually applied as splitting criteria in the node selection process for constructing the decision tree.

Decision tree-based Design Defects Detection
Design defects affect project quality and hinder development and maintenance. Consequently, experts need to minimize these defects in software systems. A promising approach is to apply the concepts of refactoring at higher level of abstraction based on ...

Reconstructing enzyme evolution by protein engineering
Natural enzyme evolution can be retraced by protein engineering methods such as directed evolution, rational design, and ancestral sequence reconstruction. These approaches reveal how enzymes emerged from ligand‐binding scaffolds, developed varying substrate preferences, formed oligomeric complexes, adapted to environmental changes, and evolved novel ...

The mycobacterial CIII‐CIV respiratory supercomplex is an obligate assembly, encompassing several subunits of unknown functions. We have characterized the intracellular subunit AscF, and show that it is unlikely to be a sensor for metals or nucleotides, but is required for growth on nonfermentable energy sources, and likely works as an adapter for ...

A Chi-MIC Based Adaptive Multi-Branch Decision Tree
Since the decision trees (DTs) have an advantage over “black-box” models, such as neural nets or support vector machines, in terms of comprehensibility, such that it might merit improvement for further optimization.

MAPTree: Beating “Optimal” Decision Trees with Bayesian Decision Trees
Decision trees remain one of the most popular machine learning models today, largely due to their out-of-the-box performance and interpretability. In this work, we present a Bayesian approach to decision tree induction via maximum a posteriori inference of a posterior distribution over trees.
