A Sequential Classification and Regression Tree Algorithm (S-CART)
for Variable Selection in the Binary Classification Setting
Abstract:
The talk will discuss a sequential classification and regression tree algorithm (S-CART) in the context of variable selection in the binary classification setting. It will also briefly touch on the stochastic search variable selection (SSVS) technique in the context of multinomial classification. Results for S-CART, SSVS, and t-test application on real-world microarray datasets and datasets simulated from Bayesian models incorporating various degrees of data substructure and dependency will be discussed.
