【模式识别】CART和GML AdaBoost MATLAB TOOLBOX

AdaBoost的训练和分类的结构都是相似的，可以参考前一篇《Boosting》，只简介一下GML。GML内部弱分类器使用的CART决策树。决策树的叶子表示决策，内部每个分支都是决策过程。从根部开始，每个决策结果指向下一层决策，最后到达叶子，得到最终的决策结果。一个比较简单的示意如下图所示：

对于特征{x1,x2,x3}值为{4,-1,2}的样本，上图决策树的最终决策为y=-1，而对于{3,-2,3}的样本预测值为+1。
工具箱中CART根的构造算法如下：

1. 对于n为特征的每个维度，分别找到阈值使得分类错误率最小
2. 选择错误率最小的第i维构造根节点：
a) 预测xi>Θ
b) 分别构造true/false子树分支，各自的分类结果作为叶子

在树中移动并最终到达叶子，我们把得到的预测结果错误分类一个样本的概率作为“树叶的错误率”。整颗决策树的构造使用如下规则：

1. 构造根节点
2. 选择错误率最小的叶子
3. 仅适用于和所选叶子相关的训练数据构造节点
4. 使用构造的节点代替所选的叶子
5. 重复2-4步直到所有的叶子错误率为0，或者到达循环结束的循环次数。

事实上，工具箱使用中，CART树的构造过程只有树深一个可调参数，使用：

function tree_node = tree_node_w(max_splits)

% Step1: reading Data from the file
clear
clc
file_data = load(‘Ionosphere.txt‘);
Data = file_data(:,1:10)‘;
Labels = file_data(:,end)‘;
Labels = Labels*2 - 1;
MaxIter = 200; % boosting iterations
% Step2: splitting data to training and control set
TrainData   = Data(:,1:2:end);
TrainLabels = Labels(1:2:end);
ControlData   = Data(:,2:2:end);
ControlLabels = Labels(2:2:end);
% Step3: constructing weak learner
weak_learner = tree_node_w(3); % pass the number of tree splits to the constructor
% Step4: training with Gentle AdaBoost
[GLearners GWeights] = GentleAdaBoost(weak_learner, TrainData, TrainLabels, MaxIter);
% Step5: training with Modest AdaBoost
[MLearners MWeights] = ModestAdaBoost(weak_learner, TrainData, TrainLabels, MaxIter);
% Step5: training with Modest AdaBoost
[RLearners RWeights] = RealAdaBoost(weak_learner, TrainData, TrainLabels, MaxIter);
% Step6: evaluating on control set
ResultG = sign(Classify(GLearners, GWeights, ControlData));
ResultM = sign(Classify(MLearners, MWeights, ControlData));
ResultR = sign(Classify(RLearners, RWeights, ControlData));
% Step7: calculating error
ErrorG  = sum(ControlLabels ~= ResultG) / length(ControlLabels)
ErrorM  = sum(ControlLabels ~= ResultM) / length(ControlLabels)
ErrorR  = sum(ControlLabels ~= ResultR) / length(ControlLabels)

以上代码构造深度为3的CART决策树作为弱分类器，分别使用GentleAdaBoost，ModestAdaBoost和RealAdaBoost迭代200次训练AdaBoost分类器。以上代码直接使用MaxIter调用函数训练与下面方法是等价的：

% Step4: iterativly running the training
for lrn_num = 1 : MaxIter
    clc;
    disp(strcat(‘Boosting step: ‘, num2str(lrn_num),‘/‘, num2str(MaxIter)));
    %training gentle adaboost
    [GLearners GWeights] = GentleAdaBoost(weak_learner, TrainData, TrainLabels, 1, GWeights, GLearners);
    %evaluating control error
    GControl = sign(Classify(GLearners, GWeights, ControlData));
    GAB_control_error(lrn_num) = GAB_control_error(lrn_num) + sum(GControl ~= ControlLabels) / length(ControlLabels);
    %training real adaboost
    [RLearners RWeights] = RealAdaBoost(weak_learner, TrainData, TrainLabels, 1, RWeights, RLearners);
    %evaluating control error
    RControl = sign(Classify(RLearners, RWeights, ControlData));
    RAB_control_error(lrn_num) = RAB_control_error(lrn_num) + sum(RControl ~= ControlLabels) / length(ControlLabels);
    %training modest adaboost
    [NuLearners NuWeights] = ModestAdaBoost(weak_learner, TrainData, TrainLabels, 1, NuWeights, NuLearners);
    %evaluating control error
    NuControl = sign(Classify(NuLearners, NuWeights, ControlData));
    MAB_control_error(lrn_num) = MAB_control_error(lrn_num) + sum(NuControl ~= ControlLabels) / length(ControlLabels);
end
