Decision Stump
A decision stump is a machine learning model consisting of a one-level decision tree. That is, it is a decision tree with one internal node (the root) which is immediately connected to the terminal nodes (its leaves). A decision stump makes a prediction based on the value of just a single input feature. Sometimes they are also called 1-rules. Depending on the type of the input feature, several variations are possible. For nominal features, one may build a stump which contains a leaf for each possible feature value or a stump with the two leaves, one of which corresponds to some chosen category, and the other leaf to all the other categories.This is what has been implemented in Weka's DecisionStump classifier. For binary features these two schemes are identical. A missing value may be treated as a yet another category. For continuous features, usually, some threshold feature value is selected, and the stump contains two leaves — for values below and above the threshold. However, r ...
