COSC-288: Machine Learning

Project 5
Fall 2018

Due: M 12/10 @ 11:59 P.M.
10 points

Modify your implementation of DT and related classes from p3 so DT learns from weighted examples.
Implement Flach's Algorithm 11.1 as the executable Bagging. Bag DT. By default, Bagging should produce 10 classifiers. Predict by voting.
Implement Flach's Algorithm 11.3 as the executable Boosting. Boost DT. By default, Boosting should produce 10 classifiers.

The implementations must follow sound principles of object-oriented Implement each learner as a single executable. No windows. No menus. No prompts. Just do it.

The logic of the implementation should be the same as that for the previous implementations. If the user runs a learner and specifies only a training set, then the program should evaluate using 10-fold cross-validation and output the results. Naturally, the user can use the -x switch to change the default. If the user provides the -p switch and a proportion, then the program conducts an evaluation using the hold-out method. Otherwise, if the user specifies both a training and testing set, then the program should build a model from the training set, evaluate it on the testing set, and output the results.
