Generalizing Gain Penalization for Feature Selection in Tree-Based Models

We develop a new approach for feature selection via gain penalization in tree-based models. First, we show that previous methods do not perform sufficient regularization and often exhibit sub-optimal out-of-sample performance, especially when correlated features are present. Instead, we develop a ne...
