2 © Tan,Steinbach, Kumar Introduction to Data Mining 4/18/2004 2 Classification: Definition l Given a collection of records (training set ) –Each record contains a set of attributes, one of the attributes is the class. l Find a model for class attribute as a function of the values of other attributes. l Goal: previously unseen records should be assigned a class as accurately as possible. –A test set is used to determine the accuracy of the model. Usually, the given data set is divided into training and test sets, with training set used to build the model and test set used to validate it.

16 © Tan,Steinbach, Kumar Introduction to Data Mining 4/18/2004 16 Decision Tree Induction l Hunt’s Algorithm (one of the earliest)

17 © Tan,Steinbach, Kumar Introduction to Data Mining 4/18/2004 17 General Structure of Hunt’s Algorithm l Let D t be the set of training records that reach a node t l General Procedure: –If D t contains records that belong the same class y t, then t is a leaf node labeled as y t –If D t is an empty set, then t is a leaf node labeled by the default class, y d –If D t contains records that belong to more than one class, use an attribute test to split the data into smaller subsets. Recursively apply the procedure to each subset. DtDt ?

19 © Tan,Steinbach, Kumar Introduction to Data Mining 4/18/2004 19 Splitting l Depends on attribute types –Nominal –Ordinal –Continuous l Depends on number of ways to split –2-way split –Multi-way split

20 © Tan,Steinbach, Kumar Introduction to Data Mining 4/18/2004 20 Splitting Based on Nominal Attributes l Multi-way split: Use as many partitions as distinct values. l Binary split: Divides values into two subsets. Need to find optimal partitioning. CarType Family Sports Luxury CarType {Family, Luxury} {Sports} CarType {Sports, Luxury} {Family} OR

21 © Tan,Steinbach, Kumar Introduction to Data Mining 4/18/2004 21 l Multi-way split: Use as many partitions as distinct values. l Binary split: Divides values into two subsets. Need to find optimal partitioning. Splitting Based on Ordinal Attributes Size Small Medium Large Size {Medium, Large} {Small} Size {Small, Medium} {Large} OR Size {Small, Large} {Medium}

22 © Tan,Steinbach, Kumar Introduction to Data Mining 4/18/2004 22 Splitting Based on Continuous Attributes

23 © Tan,Steinbach, Kumar Introduction to Data Mining 4/18/2004 23 How to determine the Best Split l Nodes with homogeneous class distribution are preferred l Need a measure of node impurity: Non-homogeneous, High degree of impurity Homogeneous, Low degree of impurity

24 © Tan,Steinbach, Kumar Introduction to Data Mining 4/18/2004 24 Measures of Node Impurity l Gini Index l Entropy

25 © Tan,Steinbach, Kumar Introduction to Data Mining 4/18/2004 25 Measure of Impurity: GINI l Gini Index for a given node t : (NOTE: p( j | t) is the relative frequency of class j at node t). –Gini Index is Maximum when records are equally distributed among all classes, implying least interesting information –Minimum (0.0) when all records belong to one class, implying most interesting information

26 © Tan,Steinbach, Kumar Introduction to Data Mining 4/18/2004 26 Examples for computing GINI P(C1) = 0/6 = 0 P(C2) = 6/6 = 1 Gini = 1 – P(C1) 2 – P(C2) 2 = 1 – 0 – 1 = 0 P(C1) = 1/6 P(C2) = 5/6 Gini = 1 – (1/6) 2 – (5/6) 2 = 0.278 P(C1) = 2/6 P(C2) = 4/6 Gini = 1 – (2/6) 2 – (4/6) 2 = 0.444

27 © Tan,Steinbach, Kumar Introduction to Data Mining 4/18/2004 27 Splitting Based on GINI l When a node p is split into k partitions (children), the quality of split is computed as, where,n i = number of records at child i, n = number of records at node p.

28 © Tan,Steinbach, Kumar Introduction to Data Mining 4/18/2004 28 Computing GINI Index l Splits into two partitions B? YesNo Node N1Node N2 Gini(N1) = 1 – (5/6) 2 – (2/6) 2 = 0.194 Gini(N2) = 1 – (1/6) 2 – (4/6) 2 = 0.528 Gini(Children) = 7/12 * 0.194 + 5/12 * 0.528 = 0.333

29 © Tan,Steinbach, Kumar Introduction to Data Mining 4/18/2004 29 Categorical Attributes: Computing Gini Index l For each distinct value, gather counts for each class in the dataset l Use the count matrix to make decisions Multi-way splitTwo-way split (find best partition of values)

30 © Tan,Steinbach, Kumar Introduction to Data Mining 4/18/2004 30 Decision Tree Based Classification l Advantages: –Inexpensive to construct –Extremely fast at classifying unknown records –Easy to interpret for small-sized trees –Accuracy is comparable to other classification techniques for many simple data sets

31 © Tan,Steinbach, Kumar Introduction to Data Mining 4/18/2004 31 Metrics for Performance Evaluation l Focus on the predictive capability of a model –Rather than how fast it takes to classify or build models, scalability, etc. l Confusion Matrix: PREDICTED CLASS ACTUAL CLASS Class=YesClass=No Class=Yesab Class=Nocd a: TP (true positive) b: FN (false negative) c: FP (false positive) d: TN (true negative)

32 © Tan,Steinbach, Kumar Introduction to Data Mining 4/18/2004 32 Metrics for Performance Evaluation… l Most widely-used metric: PREDICTED CLASS ACTUAL CLASS Class=YesClass=No Class=Yesa (TP) b (FN) Class=Noc (FP) d (TN)
