Two important issues regarding data driven classification are addressed here: Model interpretation and imbalanced data. The aim is to build data driven classifiers that provide good predictive performance for a set of imbalanced data and enhance the understanding of a model by enabling input/output dependencies that exist to be visualised. Here, the classification method is demonstrated on an imbalanced data set that describes fatigue crack initiation in automotive camshafts. To generate interpretable models, the Support vector Parismonious ANalysis Of Variance (SUPANOVA) technique is extended to the classification domain. The technique enables an additive decomposition of low dimensional kernel models to be recovered, enhancing model visualization. The standard averaging technique used to assess the performance of the model is inappropriate for imbalanced data. As such, the Geometric mean (Gmean), which is typically maximal on the Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) when the true positive and negative classification is balanced between two classes is used. A conventional SVM produced results of generalisation estimate of 55%. However, introducing a class-dependent misclassification cost into the SVM resulted in an improved performance of 74%. The SU-PANOVA technique produced a reduced performance of 64%, whilst reducing the model space to just 13 com-industries. However, there is a tradeoff between high strength and the number of fatigue cracks [l]. As such, it is important to investigate why cracks are initiated from the graphite nodules within the microstructure. Clearly, in this example the number of graphite nodules which can be classed as "no crack" exceeds the number of "crack" nodules and consequently the data is imbalanced (see Fig. 1). The graphite nodule size and/or distribution morphology can be obtained from Finite Body Tessellation (FBT). These measurements are used as the features for a classifier to learn the characteristics that cause fatigue crack initiation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
