Some of these models use decision rules to support its decision-making instead of principles of utility maximization. Decision rules can be derived from different modelling approaches. In a previous study, it was shown that Bayesian networks outperform decision trees and that they are better suited to capture the complexity of the underlying decision-making. However, one of the disadvantages is that Bayesian networks are somewhat limited in terms of interpretation and efficiency when rules are derived from the network, while rules derived from decision trees in general have a simple and direct interpretation. Therefore, in this study, the idea of combining decision trees and Bayesian networks was explored in order to maintain the potential advantages of both techniques..... | Keywords: | ransportation; activity-based transportation modelling; Bayesian; networks; decision trees; BNT classifier | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/1512 | ISSN: | 0377-2217 | e-ISSN: | 1872-6860 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.ejor.2005.03.022 | ISI #: | 000240795200002 | Category: | A1 | Type: | Journal Contribution | Validations: | ecoom 2007 |
