使用Decision Tree对MNIST数据集进行实验

之前已经对MNIST使用过SVM和KNN的方法进行分类，效果看起来还不错。今天使用决策树来实验，看看结果如何。

使用的Decision Tree中，对MNIST中的灰度值进行了0/1处理，方便来进行分类和计算熵。

使用较少的测试数据测试了在对灰度值进行多分类的情况下，分类结果的正确率如何。实验结果如下。

#Test change pixel data into more categories than 0/1:
#int(pixel)/50: 37%
#int(pixel)/64: 45.9%
#int(pixel)/96: 52.3%
#int(pixel)/128: 62.48%
#int(pixel)/152: 59.1%
#int(pixel)/176: 57.6%
#int(pixel)/192: 54.0%

可见，在对灰度数据进行二分类，也就是0/1处理时，效果是最好的。

使用0/1处理，最终结果如下：

#Result:
#Train with 10k, test with 60k: 77.79%
#Train with 60k, test with 10k: 87.3%
#Time cost: 3 hours.

最终结果是87.3%的正确率。与SVM和KNN的超过95%相比，差距不小。而且消耗时间更长。

需要注意的是，此次Decision Tree算法中，并未对决策树进行剪枝。因此，还有可以提升的空间。

python代码见最下面。其中：

calcShannonEntropy(dataSet)：是对矩阵的熵进行计算，根据各个数据点的分类情况，使用香农定理计算；

splitDataSet(dataSet, axis, value): 是获取第axis维度上的值为value的所有行所组成的矩阵。对于第axis维度上的数据，分别计算他们的splitDataSet的矩阵的熵，并与该维度上数据的出现概率相乘求和，可以得到使用第axis维度构建决策树后，整体的熵。

chooseBestFeatureToSplit(dataSet): 根据splitDataSet函数，对比得到整体的熵与原矩阵的熵相比，熵的增量最大的维度。根据此维度feature来构建决策树。

createDecisionTree(dataSet, features): 递归构建决策树。若在叶子节点处没法分类，则采用majorityCnt(classList)方法统计出现最多次的class作为分类。

代码如下：
