A STUDY OF DECISION TREE CLASSIFIER
Ang W · Acta Automatica Sinica · 1987
In this paper, a mathematical definition of decision tree classifier is given. Two key problems——optimization of the decision tree classifier and performance measure are studied, so that an approach to the design of decision tree classifier with application to satellite multispectral data classification is proposed, including reasonable performance measure, a special data structure, and optimization algorithm for searching. Finally, experimental results of forest classification is also given.
