Joseph K. Bradley commented on SPARK-3272: ------------------------------------------ Hi Qiping, Thanks for the update & for waiting on my PR! I will ping you once it is merged. Joseph > Calculate prediction for nodes separately from calculating information gain > for splits in decision tree > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: SPARK-3272 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-3272 > Project: Spark > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: MLlib > Affects Versions: 1.0.2 > Reporter: Qiping Li > Fix For: 1.1.0 > > > In current implementation, prediction for a node is calculated along with > calculation of information gain stats for each possible splits. The value to > predict for a specific node is determined, no matter what the splits are. > To save computation, we can first calculate prediction first and then > calculate information gain stats for each split. > This is also necessary if we want to support minimum instances per node > parameters([SPARK-2207|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-2207]) > because when all splits don't satisfy minimum instances requirement , we > don't use information gain of any splits. There should be a way to get the > prediction value. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: issues-unsubscr...@spark.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: issues-h...@spark.apache.org
