Abstract

We investigate the idea of using diversified multiple trees for Microarray data classification. We propose an algorithm of Maximally Diversified Multiple Trees (MDMT), which makes use of a set of unique trees in the decision committee. We compare MDMT with some well-known ensemble methods, namely AdaBoost, Bagging, and Random Forests. We also compare MDMT with a diversified decision tree algorithm, Cascading and Sharing trees (CS4), which forms the decision committee by using a set of trees with distinct roots. Based on seven Microarray data sets, both MDMT and CS4 are more accurate on average than AdaBoost, Bagging, and Random Forests. Based on a sign test of 95% confidence, both MDMT and CS4 perform better than majority traditional ensemble methods tested. We discuss differences between MDMT and CS4.
