TMVA::CCPruner Class Reference

A helper class to prune a decision tree using the Cost Complexity method (see Classification and Regression Trees by Leo Breiman et al)

Some definitions:

There are two running modes in CCPruner: (i) one may select a prune strength and prune back the tree \( T_{max}\) until the criterion:

\[ \alpha < \frac{R(T) - R(t)}{|\sim T_t| - 1} \]

is true for all nodes t in \( T \), or (ii) the algorithm finds the sequence of critical points \( \alpha_k < \alpha_{k+1} ... < \alpha_K \) such that \( T_K = root(T_{max}) \) and then selects the optimally-pruned subtree, defined to be the subtree with the best quality index for the validation sample.
