Though effective with better interpretability, the VRBMLC generates deep layers of tree nodes as it employs a one-feature-at-a-time binary split at each layer. To further condense the tree depth and enhance the classification performance, this research proposes a multivariate multi-layer classifier that applies a variance-ratio criterion to enable ternary splits of each tree node and that integrates the oblique discriminant hyperplane in the tree node. We benchmark 16 state-of-the-art univariate and multivariate classifiers on 43 publicly available datasets. The results show that the proposed methods greatly simplify the tree structure and yield a significantly higher average accuracy. |
