LS, LTS, MM?• The breakdown value of an estimator is defined as
the smallest fraction of contamination that can cause the estimator to take on values arbitrarily far from its value on the uncontaminated data.
• The breakdown value of an estimator can be used as a measure of the robustness of the estimator. Rousseeuw and Leroy (1987) and others introduced high breakdown value estimators for linear regression.

cvTools• http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/cvTool
s/cvTools.pdf
• Very powerful and flexible package for CV (regression) but very much a black box!
• If you use it, become very, very familiar with the outputs and be prepared to experiment…
12
Bootstrap aggregation (bagging)
• Improve the stability and accuracy of machine learning algorithms used in statistical classification and regression.
• Also reduces variance and helps to avoid overfitting.
• Usually applied to decision tree methods, but can be used with any type of method.– Bagging is a special case of the model averaging
approach.• Harder to interpret – why?
13
• Shows improvements for unstable procedures (Breiman, 1996): e.g. neural nets, classification and regression trees, and subset selection in linear regression
• … can mildly degrade the performance of stable methods such as K-nearest neighbors

Weak models …• A weak learner: a classifier which is only
slightly correlated with the true classification (it can label examples better than random guessing)
• A strong learner: a classifier that is arbitrarily well-correlated with the true classification.
• Can a set of weak learners create a single strong learner?
19
Boosting• … reducing bias in supervised learning• most boosting algorithms consist of iteratively
learning weak classifiers with respect to a distribution and adding them to a final strong classifier. – typically weighted in some way that is usually related to
the weak learners' accuracy.
• After a weak learner is added, the data is reweighted: examples that are misclassified gain weight and examples that are classified correctly lose weight
• Thus, future weak learners focus more on the examples that previous weak learners misclassified.

Cluster boosting• Assessment of the clusterwise stability of a
clustering of data, which can be cases x variables or dissimilarity data.
• The data is resampled using several schemes (bootstrap, subsetting, jittering, replacement of points by noise) and the Jaccard similarities of the original clusters to the most similar clusters in the resampled data are computed.
• The mean over these similarities is used as an index of the stability of a cluster (other statistics can be computed as well).
26
Cluster boosting• Quite general clustering methods are
possible, i.e. methods estimating or fixing the number of clusters, methods producing overlapping clusters or not assigning all cases to clusters (but declaring them as "noise").
• In R – clustermethod = X is used to select the method, e.g. Kmeans
• Lab on Friday… (iris, etc..)27
Example - bodyfat• The response variable is the body fat measured by
DXA (DEXfat), which can be seen as the gold standard to measure body fat.
• However, DXA measurements are too expensive and complicated for a broad use.
• Anthropometric measurements as waist or hip circumferences are in comparison very easy to measure in a standard screening.
• A prediction formula only based on these measures could therefore be a valuable alternative with high clinical relevance for daily usage. 28
bodyfat## regular linear model using three variables
lm1 <- lm(DEXfat ~ hipcirc + kneebreadth + anthro3a, data = bodyfat)
## Estimate same model by glmboost
glm1 <- glmboost(DEXfat ~ hipcirc + kneebreadth + anthro3a, data = bodyfat)
# We consider all available variables as potential predictors.
glm2 <- glmboost(DEXfat ~ ., data = bodyfat)
# or one could essentially call:
preds <- names(bodyfat[, names(bodyfat) != "DEXfat"]) ## names of predictors
fm <- as.formula(paste("DEXfat ~", paste(preds, collapse = "+"))) ## build formula

Aside: Boosting and SVM…• Remember “margins” from the SVM?
Partitioning the “linear” or transformed space?
• In boosting we are effectively (not explicitly) attempting to maximize the minimum margin of any training example

Variants on boosting – loss fncars.gb <- blackboost(dist ~ speed, data = cars, control = boost_control(mstop = 50))
### plot fit
plot(dist ~ speed, data = cars)
lines(cars$speed, predict(cars.gb), col = "red")

Blackboosting (cf. brown)Gradient boosting for optimizing arbitrary loss functions where regression trees are utilized as base-learners.
