Quantitative Issues in Cancer Research Working Seminar

March 30, 2020 @ 1:00 pm - 1:50 pm

Maya RamchandranDoctoral Student, Department of Biostatistics, Harvard University”A Clustered Cross-validation Weighted Generalization of Random Forest”ABSTRACT: This project considers extending the general multi-study ensembling framework proposed by Parmigiani and Patel (2017) to single datasets, with Random Forest as the learner. Specifically, we look at using clustering algorithms to first split a dataset into regions that maximize feature-effect heterogeneity across clusters and minimize it within. We then train Random Forest learners on each cluster, and then ensemble them using replicability weights. We then explore in which settings this method outperforms training a single Forest on the full dataset and how it compares to learners trained using the oracle clusters.
