机器学习实战读书笔记----利用Adaboost元算法提高分类性能

总结一下boosting与bagging：boosting是一种通过串行训练得到的分类器，每个新分类器都根据已经训练出的分类器性能进行训练，boosting是集中关注被已有分类器错分的那些数据来获得的新的分类器。由于boosting分类的结果是基于所有分类起的加权求和结果的，因此二者不太一样。bagging中的分类器权重是相等的，而boosting中的分类器权重不相等，每个权重代表的是其对应分类器在上一轮迭代中的成功度。

下面附上利用决策树桩构造的Adaboost算法代码：

from numpy import *

def loadSimpData():
    datMat = matrix([[ 1. ,  2.1],
        [ 2. ,  1.1],
        [ 1.3,  1. ],
        [ 1. ,  1. ],
        [ 2. ,  1. ]])
    classLabels = [1.0, 1.0, -1.0, -1.0, 1.0]
    return datMat,classLabels

def loadDataSet(fileName):      #general function to parse tab -delimited floats
    numFeat = len(open(fileName).readline().split('\t')) #get number of fields 
    dataMat = []; labelMat = []
    fr = open(fileName)
    for line in fr.readlines():
        lineArr =[]
        curLine = line.strip().split('\t')
        for i in range(numFeat-1):
            lineArr.append(float(curLine[i]))
        dataMat.append(lineArr)
        labelMat.append(float(curLine[-1]))
    return dataMat,labelMat

	#这里使用的分类器为决策树桩（Decision Stump）
def stumpClassify(dataMatrix,dimen,threshVal,threshIneq):#just classify the data
    retArray = ones((shape(dataMatrix)[0],1))
    if threshIneq == 'lt':
        retArray[dataMatrix[:,dimen] <= threshVal] = -1.0
    else:
        retArray[dataMatrix[:,dimen] > threshVal] = -1.0
    return retArray
    #利用三个循环选择在当前数据权值D下最好的分类器
	#第一个循环用来遍历所有的特征，确定特征的上界和下界，根据设置的步数算出每一步的长度
	#第二个循环用来遍历当前特征下用来分类的阈值，相当于在N个样本中插入N+1个点
	#第三个循环用来遍历判断方向，是大于阈值判断为正例还是小于阈值判断为正例，
	#调用stumpClassify()函数返回预测结果并与实际结果比较，结合权重向量D计算出损失代价，选择循环中是损失代价最小的决策树桩

#初始权重设为1/N，设置停止条件为达到最大分类器个数或errorRate为0
