Pros and Cons over Traditional methods Software Section Data Set Specifics used for the Evaluation SAS Enterprise Miner v 4.0 (NT) [sas.com] S-PLUS 2000 Professional Release 2 (NT) [insightful.com] Yield Dynamics Yield Mine v 2.0 (NT) [yielddynamics.com] A comparison of results and features 2

3 What are Decision Trees? A flow chart or diagram representing a classification system or a predictive model. The tree is structured as a sequence of simple questions. The answers to these questions trace a path down the tree. The end product is a collection of hierarchical rules that segment the data into groups, where a decision (classification or prediction) is made for each group. The hierarchy is called a tree, and each segment is called a node. The original segment contains the entire data set, referred to as the root node of the tree. A node with all of its successors forms a branch of the node that created it. The final nodes (terminal nodes) are called leaves. For each leaf, a decision is made and applied to all observations in the leaf. Classification Tree: Categorical Response / Target Regression Tree: Continuous Response / Target Predictor variables => Inputs 3

4 Example: Classification Tree Root Node: All Data Tree Assessment: (Proportion Correctly Classified): Yes X 1 < 2.8? X 2 < -10.0? X 3 < 0.003? Yes No Yes No No Leaf 1: 100% Leaf 2: 74% Leaf 3: 69% Leaf 4: 100% Overall: 82% Terminal Nodes with classifications Leaf 1: MAX Leaf 2: MED Leaf 3: MED Leaf 4: MIN Rules: if X1 < 2.8 and X2 < -10 then class = MAX if (X1 < 2.8 and X2 > -10) or (X1 > 2.8 and X3 < 0.003) then class = MED if X1 > 2.8 and X3 > then class = MIN 4

5 Basic Elements in Tree Construction: 1. Splitting each node in a tree How are Decision Trees Constructed? How to select each split so that descendent subsets are purer than the data in the parent subset? 2. Deciding when a tree is complete (two approaches) How large to grow the tree? What nodes to prune off the tree? 3. Assigning Classes (or predicted values) to terminal nodes Which model to use in the leaves? 5

6 Basic Elements in Tree Construction 1. Splitting each node in a tree (two steps): Generate a set of candidate splitting rules - Look at all possible splits for all variables included in the analysis - Example: a data set with 215 observations and 19 possible input variables would consider up to (215)(90) = 4085 possible splits Choose the best split from among the candidate set - Rank order each splitting rule on the basis of some quality-of-split criterion ( purity function). The most frequently used ones are: - Entropy reduction (nominal / binary targets) - Gini-index (nominal / binary targets) - Chi-square tests (nominal / binary targets) - F-test (interval targets) - Variance reduction (interval targets) 6

7 Basic Elements in Tree Construction 2. Deciding when a tree is complete (two approaches): Continue splitting nodes until some goodness-of-split criterion fails to be met. - when the quality of a particular split falls below the threshold, the tree is not grown further along that branch. - when all branches from the root reach terminal nodes then tree is complete. Grow the tree too large and then prune the nodes off. - after tree construction stops create a sequence of subtrees from the original tree - choose one subtree for each possible number of leaves (the subtree chosen with p leaves has the best assessment value of all candidate subtrees with p leaves) - once the sequence of subtrees is established select which subtree to use according to some criterion. -best assessment value 7

8 Basic Elements in Tree Construction 3. Assigning classes (or predictions) to terminal nodes: The plurality rule is one criterion: - the group with the greatest representation determines the class assignment. - the conditional mean within the node determines the predicted value. Other criterion modify simple plurality to account for - costs of making a mistake in classification. - to adjust for over- or under-sampling from certain classes. 8

9 What are their goals and how are they assessed? Goal of Decision Trees: To obtain the most accurate prediction possible. Since these models are not used in isolation but in conjunction with subject matter experts, the most desirable trees are: 1. Accurate (low generalization error rates) 2. Parsimonious (representing and generalizing the relationships succinctly) 3. Non-trivial (producing interesting results) 4. Feasible (time and resources) 5. Transparent and interpretable (providing high level representations of and insights into the data relationships, regularities, or trends) - Tree Assessment: Estimation of the error or missclassification rate is derived from both a Training data set (used to train the model) and an independent Test / Validation data set (used for testing the model). - Resubstitution Estimate (internal estimate, biased) - Test Sample Estimation (independent estimate) - V-fold and N-fold Cross-Validation (resampling techniques) 9

10 Pros and Cons Over Traditional Methods Pros: Ease of interpretation and graphical in nature Nonparametric based (does not require specification of functional form) Allow more general interactions and non-additive behavior among inputs Ability to learn step functions (discontinuities) Easier to interpret when predictors are both continuous and categorical Robust to the effects of outliers (for both input and target variables) Invariant to monotone transformations of input variables Can process inputs w/missing values (surrogate splits / alternative splits) Cons: Can become overly complex Based on univariate splits Require many branches to approximate linear functions accurately (unlike regression or neural nets) 10

11 Software: Data Set Description LOW MED HI Target Response Variable (YCLASS): - Lot level yield classification lots - Categorical response: HI, MED, LOW Questions: Input (predictor) variables: - 70 Electrical test parameters (e.g. P_221342) - Lot level median values - All continuous Which combination of parameters are best at predicting lot level yield? What is the process space of this best combination? How good is this prediction? 11

35 Summary Decision tree methods are now well proven as a form of data mining The techniques provide an intuitive and efficient method for discovering relationships across a broad range of data sets. The software implementations in SAS Enterprise Miner, S-PLUS, and Genesis Yield Mine were tested on a sample data set from IC manufacturing and produced comparable results The software evaluations were an initial look at the potential each product offers in decision tree methodology. The strengths and weaknesses of each package should be weighted according to the audience (engineer or statistician) and the problem domain (semiconductor or other). These methods can be a valuable tool in one s arsenal of data analysis tools and we encourage you to consider their use in your practice. 35
