A Nonparametric Ensemble Binary Classifier and its Statistical Properties
In this work, we propose an ensemble of classification trees (CT) and
artificial neural networks (ANN). Several statistical properties including
universal consistency and upper bound of an important parameter of the proposed
classifier are shown. Numerical evidence is also provided using various real
life data sets to assess the performance of the model. Our proposed
nonparametric ensemble classifier doesn't suffer from the `curse of
dimensionality' and can be used in a wide variety of feature selection cum
classification problems. Performance of the proposed model is quite better when
compared to many other state-of-the-art models used for similar situations
