Optimizing prediction models on Azure – pruning the trees

Optimizing prediction models on Azure

This is a simple example about optimizing prediction models on Azure. In this case we will use a Boosted Decision Tree model. We will show you how you can use the Permutation Feature Performance module to prune your trees.

We start with the Student Performance Classifier from a previous blog. We already found out that the Boosted Decision Tree algorithm gave the best results, so we will start with that one to train our model with. Continue reading “Optimizing prediction models on Azure – pruning the trees”
