 Decision Tree
• A decision tree in a machine learning is a
flowchart structure in which each node
represents a test, and each branch represents the
outcome of the test.
• The end node called leaf node represents a class
label.
• Decision Tree is a supervised learning method .
• Used for both classification and regression.
 Decision Tree Learning

The decision tree learning is a method for

approximating discrete-valued target
function, (concept) in which the learned
function is represented by a decision tree.
 Important Terminology of Decision Tree
• Root Node: It represents the entire population
(which gets further divided into 2 or more sets.
• Splitting: It is a process of dividing node into two
or more sub nodes to increase tree.
• Decision nodes: When a sub- node splits into
further sub-nodes then it is called a decision tree.
• Leaf/ Terminal Node: The end nodes which do
not split are called leaf or terminal nodes.
 Important Terminology of Decision Tree
• Pruning: The removal of sub-nodes is called
pruning to reduce tree.
• Branch (sub-tree): A subsection of entire tree
is called branch or subtree.
• Parent nodes and child nodes: A node
divided into sub-nodes is called parent node.
The sub-nodes of a parent node are called
child nodes.
 Entropy
• Average amount of information contained by
random variable (x) is called Entropy.
𝑛

𝐸 𝑥 = − ෍ 𝑃 𝑥𝑖 . 𝑙𝑜𝑔2𝑃(𝑥𝑖)
𝑖=1
• In other words, entropy is the measure of
“randomness information” of a variable.
• It is the measure of uncertainty associated with
random variable (x)

 Information Gain

• The information gain is defined as the reduction

(decrease) in entropy.
IG(T,X) = Entropy(T) – Entropy(T,X)

 General Decision Tree Algorithm Steps

• Calculate the Entropy (E) of every Attribute A of dataset

(S).
• Split (partition) the dataset (S) into subsets using the
attribute for which the resulting entropy after splitting is
minimized (or information gain is maximized).
• Make a decision tree node containing that attribute.
• Repeat steps 1, 2 and 3 until the dataset is finished.
 Types of Decision Tree Algorithm

Iterative Classification and

Dichotomizer 3 CD 4.5 Algorithm Regression Tree
(ID3) Algorithm (CART) Algorithm

The previous example was solved using ID3 Algorithm.

 Pseudocode of ID-3 Decision tree Algorithm

• ID3(Example, Target-Attribute, Attributes)

• Create a root node for the tree
– If all examples are +ve, return the single node tree
root, with label = (+).
– If all examples are -ve, return the single node tree
root, with label = (-).
 Pseudocode of ID-3 Decision tree
Algorithm
• Otherwise begin
– A Attribute that best classifies examples.
– Decision tree attribute for root = A.
– For each possible value(vi) of A,
– Add a new tree branch below,
corresponding to the test A = (vi).
• Let examples(vi) be the subset of examples
that have value (vi) for A.
 Pseudocode of ID-3 Decision tree
Algorithm

• If example (vi) is empty:

– Then below this new branch, add a leaf node with label
= (most common target value in the examples)
– Else below this new branch, add the subtree
ID3 (Example(vi), Target Attribute, Attribute – (A))
• End
• Return Root
 Limitations of ID-3 Decision Tree
Algorithm

• ID-3 does not guarantee an optimal solution.

• ID-3 can overfit the training data.

• ID-3 is harder to use on continuous data as compared

to discrete data.
 Inductive Bias

Remarks on Candidate Elimination Algorithm

– Will the CE algorithm give us correct hypothesis?

– What training example should the learner request

next?
 Inductive Bias

• Inductive Learning

– We drive rules from given examples

• Deductive Learning

– Already Existing rules are applied to our examples.

 Inductive Bias

• Biased Hypothesis space

– Does not consider all types of training examples.
– Ex: Sunny, Mild, Normal, Strong = Yes
• Unbiased Hypothesis space
– Hypothesis represents all set of examples
– Possible Instances : 3 x 3 x 2 x 2 = 36
– Target Concept : 236 (Practically not possible)
 Idea of Inductive Bias

Learner generalizes beyond the observed training

examples to infer new examples

‘>’ → inductively inferred from

x>y => y I inferred from x.

 Inductive Bias in Decision Tree
Learning

• Inductive Bias is set of assumptions.

• Inductive Bias of ID3 consists of describing the basis

by which ID3 chooses one consistent decision tree
over all the possible Decision Trees.
 Inductive Bias in Decision Tree
Learning

• ID3 Search Strategy:

– Selects in favor of shorter trees over longer ones.

– Selects element with highest Information Gain as

root attribute over lowest IGs.
 Types of Inductive Bias

• Based on Priorities

Version Space and Candidate Elimination => Restrictive

 Why short hypothesis?

• According to Occums
Razor
– Prefer simplest
hypothesis that fits
the data.
 Issues in Decision Tree Learning

• Avoiding Overfitting of Data

– Reduced Error Pruning
– Rue Post-Pruning
• Incorporating continuous valued attributes.
• Alternative measures for selecting attributes.
• Handling training examples with missing attribute values.
• Handling attribute with differing costs.
 3 main properties of Instance Based
Learning

• Lazy Learners.

• Classification is different for each instance.

• Instances are represented with n dimensional

Euclidean space.
K-Nearest Neighbor Algorithm
 KNN Algorithm
• Supervised ML Algorithm.
• Can be used for both Regression and
Classification problems.
• Lazy Learning Algorithm.
• Non-parametric learning Algorithm.
 KNN Algorithm Steps

• Step 1: Load the data set

• Step 2: Choose any value of nearest neighbour data points (K). K can be any integer value.
• Step 3: Calculate the Euclidean distance between test data (Query instance, x) and each row
of training data and note them down in ordered table.
• Step 4: Arrange the Euclidean distance table in ascending order . Choose top K rows from the
table.
• Step 5: Now assign a class to the new instance point query (test data) to that class for which
the K number of neighbour is maximum.
• Step 6: End.
 Example
Consider the given training example Classify
the following data query pass or fail:
Data Query →Maths = 6, MLT = 8 and k=3
Maths MLT Result
4 3 Fail
Euclidean Distance (d)
6 7 Pass
7 8 Pass
𝑑= 𝑥 − 𝑥1 2 + 𝑥 − 𝑥2 2
5 5 Fail
8 8 Pass
 Example
Data Query →Maths = 6, MLT = 8 and k=3
Maths MLT Result
𝑑= 𝑥 − 𝑥1 2 + 𝑥 − 𝑥2 2
4 3 Fail
2 2
6 7 Pass
𝑑1 = 6−4 + 8 −3 = 4 + 25 = 29 = 5.38
7 8 Pass
𝑑2 = 6−6 2 + 8 −7 2 = 0+1= 1=1 5 5 Fail
8 8 Pass
𝑑3 = 6−7 2 + 8 −8 2 = 1+0= 1=1 d2, d3, and d5 are 3 nearest
neighbors.
𝑑4 = 6−5 2 + 8 −5 2 = 1+9= 10 = 3.16 D2 → Pass, D3→ Pass, D5→
Pass
𝑑5 = 6−8 2 + 8 −8 2 = 4+0= 4=2 Therefore, when Maths =6,
MLT= 8, Result = Pass.
Classify P5 in the following given

 Advantages of K-NN

• Very Easy to Implement for classification task.

• No training required to make predictions.
• Only 2 parameters required in KNN i.e., value of integer K and
Euclidean distance function (d).
• A variety of distance function available like Euclidean,
Manhattan, Minkowkski, etc.
• KNN can be used for both classification and regression tasks.
 Disadvantages of K-NN

• Choosing the value of K affects the results.

 Locally Weighted Regression

• Locally : The function (f) is approximated only based

on data points which are local or near to the query
point.
• Weighted: Each training example is weighted by its
distance from query point(xq).
• Regression: Means approximation of a target
function.
 Locally Weighted Regression

• Locally weighted regression means approximation of

a real-valued target function f(x) over a local region
near to the query point(xq). It uses distance weighted
training examples to form local approximation to
target function f(x).
Locally Weighted Regression
 Locally Weighted Linear Regression

Approximation of function using linear function:

𝑓መ 𝑥 = 𝑤0 + 𝑤1𝑎1 𝑥 + 𝑤2𝑎2 𝑥 + … … … + 𝑤𝑛𝑎𝑛(𝑥)

where,
𝑎𝑖 𝑥 = Value of ith attribute of instance (𝑥)
𝑤𝑖 = Coefficients of weights
 Locally Weighted Linear Regression
To find coefficients of weights, we use gradient descent rule:

∆𝑤𝑖 = 𝑛 ෍(𝑓 𝑥 − 𝑓መ (𝑥)). 𝑎𝑗(𝑥)

where,
n = Learning rate constant
𝑓 𝑥 = Target Function
መ
𝑓(𝑥) =Approximation to target function.
𝑎𝑗(𝑥) = Value of jth attribute of instance (x)
Locally Weighted Linear Regression
 Locally Weighted Linear Regression
• Locally weighted linear regression is a supervised learning algorithm.
• It is a non-parametric algorithm.
• There exists No training phase. All the work is done during the testing
phase/while making predictions.
• The dataset must always be available for predictions.
• Locally weighted regression methods are a generalization of k-Nearest
Neighbour.
• In Locally weighted regression an explicit local approximation is constructed
from the target function for each query instance.
• The local approximation is based on the target function of the form like
constant, linear, or quadratic functions localized kernel functions.
