Decision forest based classifier for determining predictive importance in real-time data analysis

摘要

For a first feature of a dataset having a plurality of features, training a classifier to predict the first feature in terms of other features in the data set to obtain a trained classifier; scrambling the values of a second feature in the data set to obtain a scrambled data set, executing the trained classifier on the scrambled data set, determining predictive importance of the seconds feature in predicting the first feature based at least in part on the accuracy of the trained classifier in predicting the first feature when executed with the scrambled data set and creating a graph of the data set in which each of the first and the second features is a node of the graph and a label on an edge between the first node and the second node is based at least in part on the predictive importance of the first feature in terms of the second feature.
