Functional Random Forest with Adaptive Cost-Sensitive Splitting for Imbalanced Functional Data Classification
- 用基函数展开和FPCA降维,保留曲线特征进行分类
- 节点级动态调整类别权重,提升少数类召回率
- 适合医疗信号、传感器轨迹等少数类关键场景
功能数据分类(观测为曲线或轨迹)在严重类别不平衡时面临独特挑战。传统随机森林虽对表格数据鲁棒,却难以捕捉功能观测的内在结构,且在少数类检测上表现不佳。本文提出功能随机森林自适应代价敏感分裂(FRF-ACS),一种专为不平衡功能数据分类设计的集成框架。该方法利用基函数展开与功能主成分分析(FPCA)高效表示曲线,使树在低维功能特征上运作。为应对不平衡,引入局部节点动态代价敏感分裂准则,结合功能SMOTE与加权自助采样混合策略。此外,采用曲线特异性相似度度量替代传统欧氏距离,以在叶节点分配中保留功能特性。在合成及真实数据集(包括生物医学信号与传感器轨迹)上的大量实验表明,与现有功能分类器及不平衡处理技术相比,FRF-ACS显著提升了少数类召回率与整体预测性能。本工作为高维功能数据分析提供了可扩展、可解释的解决方案,适用于少数类检测至关重要的领域。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Classification of functional data where observations are curves or trajectories poses unique challenges, particularly under severe class imbalance. Traditional Random Forest algorithms, while robust for tabular data, often fail to capture the intrinsic structure of functional observations and struggle with minority class detection. This paper introduces Functional Random Forest with Adaptive Cost-Sensitive Splitting (FRF-ACS), a novel ensemble framework designed for imbalanced functional data classification. The proposed method leverages basis expansions and Functional Principal Component Analysis (FPCA) to represent curves efficiently, enabling trees to operate on low dimensional functional features. To address imbalance, we incorporate a dynamic cost sensitive splitting criterion that adjusts class weights locally at each node, combined with a hybrid sampling strategy integrating functional SMOTE and weighted bootstrapping. Additionally, curve specific similarity metrics replace traditional Euclidean measures to preserve functional characteristics during leaf assignment. Extensive experiments on synthetic and real world datasets including biomedical signals and sensor trajectories demonstrate that FRF-ACS significantly improves minority class recall and overall predictive performance compared to existing functional classifiers and imbalance handling techniques. This work provides a scalable, interpretable solution for high dimensional functional data analysis in domains where minority class detection is critical.
