Decision Tree Integration Using Dynamic Regions of Competence
A vital aspect of the Multiple Classifier Systems construction process is the base model integration.For example, the Random Forest approach used the majority voting rule to fuse the base classifiers obtained by bagging the training dataset.In this paper we propose the algorithm that uses partitioning the feature space whose split is determined by
