31 // CostComplexityPruneTool - a class to prune a decision tree using the Cost Complexity method //
32 // (see "Classification and Regression Trees" by Leo Breiman et al) //
33 // //
34 // Some definitions: //
35 // //
36 // T_max - the initial, usually highly overtrained tree, that is to be pruned back //
37 // R(T) - quality index (Gini, misclassification rate, or other) of a tree T //
38 // ~T - set of terminal nodes in T //
39 // T' - the pruned subtree of T_max that has the best quality index R(T') //
40 // alpha - the prune strength parameter in Cost Complexity pruning (R_alpha(T) = R(T) + alpha*|~T|) //
41 // //
42 // There are two running modes in CostComplexityPruneTool: (i) one may select a prune strength and prune //
43 // the tree T_max until the criterion //
44 // R(T) - R(t) //
45 // alpha < ---------- //
46 // |~T_t| - 1 //
47 // //
48 // is true for all nodes t in T, or (ii) the algorithm finds the sequence of critical points //
49 // alpha_k < alpha_k+1 ... < alpha_K such that T_K = root(T_max) and then selects the optimally-pruned //
50 // subtree, defined to be the subtree with the best quality index for the validation sample. //
