Analysis of Boosted Decision Trees.

Boosted decision trees have been successfully used in High Energy Physics analysis for example by the MiniBooNE experiment (Yang-Roe-Zhu, physics/0508045). In Boosted Decision Trees, the selection is done on a majority vote on the result of several decision trees, which are all derived from the same training sample by supplying different event weights during the training.

Decision trees:

Successive decision nodes are used to categorize the events out of the sample as either signal or background. Each node uses only a single discriminating variable to decide if the event is signal-like ("goes right") or background-like ("goes left"). This forms a tree like structure with "baskets" at the end (leave nodes), and an event is classified as either signal or background according to whether the basket where it ends up has been classified signal or background during the training. Training of a decision tree is the process to define the "cut criteria" for each node. The training starts with the root node. Here one takes the full training event sample and selects the variable and corresponding cut value that gives the best separation between signal and background at this stage. Using this cut criterion, the sample is then divided into two subsamples, a signal-like (right) and a background-like (left) sample. Two new nodes are then created for each of the two sub-samples and they are constructed using the same mechanism as described for the root node. The devision is stopped once a certain node has reached either a minimum number of events, or a minimum or maximum signal purity. These leave nodes are then called "signal" or "background" if they contain more signal respective background events from the training sample.

Boosting:

The idea behind adaptive boosting (AdaBoost) is, that signal events from the training sample, that end up in a background node (and vice versa) are given a larger weight than events that are in the correct leave node. This results in a re-weighed training event sample, with which then a new decision tree can be developed. The boosting can be applied several times (typically 100-500 times) and one ends up with a set of decision trees (a forest). Gradient boosting works more like a function expansion approach, where each tree corresponds to a summand. The parameters for each summand (tree) are determined by the minimization of a error function (binomial log- likelihood for classification and Huber loss for regression). A greedy algorithm is used, which means, that only one tree is modified at a time, while the other trees stay fixed.

Bagging:

In this particular variant of the Boosted Decision Trees the boosting is not done on the basis of previous training results, but by a simple stochastic re-sampling of the initial training event sample.

Random Trees:

Similar to the "Random Forests" from Leo Breiman and Adele Cutler, it uses the bagging algorithm together and bases the determination of the best node-split during the training on a random subset of variables only which is individually chosen for each split.

Analysis:

Applying an individual decision tree to a test event results in a classification of the event as either signal or background. For the boosted decision tree selection, an event is successively subjected to the whole set of decision trees and depending on how often it is classified as signal, a "likelihood" estimator is constructed for the event being signal or background. The value of this estimator is the one which is then used to select the events from an event sample, and the cut value on this estimator defines the efficiency and purity of the selection.

a new training sample is generated by weighting events that are misclassified by the decision tree. The weight applied is \( w = \frac{(1-err)}{err} \) or more general: \( w = (\frac{(1-err)}{err})^\beta \) where \(err\) is the fraction of misclassified events in the tree ( <0.5 assuming demanding the that previous selection was better than random guessing) and "beta" being a free parameter (standard: beta = 1) that modifies the boosting.
