Shi, Haijian. "Best-first Decision Tree Learning." The University of Waikato, 2007. http://hdl.handle.net/10289/2317.

Abstract:

In best-first top-down induction of decision trees, the best split is added in each step (e.g. the split that maximally reduces the Gini index). This is in contrast to the standard depth-first traversal of a tree. The resulting tree will be the same, just how it is built is different. The objective of this project is to investigate whether it is possible to determine an appropriate tree size on practical datasets by combining best-first decision tree growth with cross-validation-based selection of the number of expansions that are performed. Pre-pruning, post-pruning, CART-pruning can be perfo

Abstract:

In the UK, only 1% of babies are exclusively breastfed to six months: this is one of the lowest breastfeeding rates in the developed world. In response, trials have been set up to financially incentivize mothers to breastfeed for longer. However, we also know that 80% of women who stop breastfeeding in the first 1-2 weeks wanted to continue for longer: they are already incentivized to keep going. This project asks: what if health services invested in promoting breastfeeding more at the start, giving mothers the knowledge, support, and tools they need to continue, instead of incentivizing women

Abstract:

Search is an important aspect of Artificial Intelligence and many advances have been achieved in finding optimal solutions for a variety of search problems. Up until recently most search problems were solved using a serial-single threaded approach. Speed is extremely important and one way to decrease the amount of time needed to find a solution is to use better hardware. A single threaded approach is limited in this way because newer processors are not much faster than previous generations. Instead industry has added more cores to allow more threads to work at the same time. In order to solve

Within the pediatric oncology population, 58% of the Children’s Oncology group has a palliative care team, and this has also been on the rise (Hughes & Smith, 2014).

The question how much internationalization is beneficial for emerging-market small and medium enterprises (EM SMEs) remains challenging to answer for both international business (IB) scholars and managers.

<p>Trade in agricultural products between Mexico and the EU only counts for a small percentage of total trade between them. With the entry into force of the EU-Mexico FTA in 2000, the tariffs on a number of agriculture commodities between the two parties was eliminated or reduced. This will lead to an opening in the trade of agricultural products between the two markets, something that could affect the welfare of the Mexican people positively, if new trade is created. The elimination and reduction of tariffs on agricultural goods could also lead to positive consumption effects as prices on the

Abstract:

Climate change must deal with two market failures: global warming and learning by doing in renewable energy production. The first-best policy consists of an aggressive renewables subsidy in the near term and a gradually rising and falling carbon tax. Given that global carbon taxes remain elusive, policy makers might have to rely on a second-best subsidy only. With credible commitment the second-best subsidy is higher than the social benefit of learning to cut the transition time and peak warming close to first-best levels at the cost of higher fossil fuel use in the short run (weak Green Parad

Notwithstanding this seeming reality, the goal of this project was to attempt to take three of the leading paradigms in legal theory and provide a way to explain how each might fit into a single coherent theory of law.
