RT info:eu-repo/semantics/article T1 Isotonic boosting classification rules A1 Conde del Río, David A1 Fernández Temprano, Miguel Alejandro A1 Rueda Sabater, María Cristina A1 Salvador González, Bonifacio AB In many real classi cation problems a monotone relation between some predictors and the classes may be assumed when higher (or lower) values of those predictors are related to higher levels of the response. In this paper, we propose new boosting algorithms, based on LogitBoost, that incorporate this isotonicity information, yielding more accurate and easily interpretable rules. These algorithms are based on theoretical developments that consider isotonic regression. We show the good performance of these procedures not only on simulations, but also on real data sets coming from two very different contexts, namely cancer diagnostic and failure of induction motors.
