Non-gaussian and Categorical Variables
摘要
Ensemble methods work with continuous Gaussian distributed parameters and cannot directly handle non-Gaussian or discrete ones. However, it is straightforward to represent non-Gaussian parameters with an underlying Gaussian representation followed by a transformation into the non-Gaussian parameters. We can then use the ensemble methods without violating the Gaussian assumption, but at the disadvantage of introducing additional nonlinearity through the nonlinear transformation.
