Research Project Details
Project Duration: 
03/2012-07/2013
Project Significance: 
Test the validity of Modified Bagging method, provide a better understanding of the limit and potential application of MB method. Provide a way to further improve on the classical KDE, which is expected to be further applied to some more tradition improvement methods.
Results Achieved: 
Research still in progress.
Remarks: 
The project is computationally intensive because of the bootstrap methods involved in modified bagging, and thus my find great value in the application of HPC 2 system.
