prtClassCap Central Axis projection classifier
CLASSIFIER = prtClassCap returns a Cap classifier
CLASSIFIER = prtClassCap(PROPERTY1, VALUE1, ...) constructs a
prtClassCap object CLASSIFIER with properties as specified by
PROPERTY/VALUE pairs.
A prtClassCap object inherits all properties from the abstract class
prtClass. In addition is has the following properties:
w - Central axis projection weights, set during
training
threshold - Decision threshold, set during training
Cap classifiers are a prototypical "weak" classification algorithm
that find application in multiple meta-algorithms. A good
explanation of Cap classifiers can be found in:
Breiman, Leo (2001). "Random Forests". Machine Learning 45 (1):
532.
Note that the output of the run method of a prtClassCap classifier
includes the process of applying the learned threshold to the
linear projection, so the outputs are discrete valued.
A prtClassCap object inherits the TRAIN, RUN, CROSSVALIDATE and
KFOLDS methods from prtAction. It also inherits the PLOT method
from prtClass.
Example:
TestDataSet = prtDataGenUniModal; % Create some test and
TrainingDataSet = prtDataGenUniModal; % training data
classifier = prtClassCap; % Create a classifier
classifier = classifier.train(TrainingDataSet); % Train
classified = run(classifier, TestDataSet); % Test
percentCorr = prtScorePercentCorrect(classified,TestDataSet);
subplot(2,1,1);
classifier.plot;
subplot(2,1,2);
[pf,pd] = prtScoreRoc(classified,TestDataSet);
h = plot(pf,pd,'linewidth',3);
title('ROC'); xlabel('Pf'); ylabel('Pd');
