Abstract(in English) In this paper we consider classification problem about discrete category $y$ regarding discrete variables $bm{x}$. Decision tree model is one of the model expressing $P(y|bm{x})$. Previously, regarding the classification problem whose $P(y|bm{x})$ is unknown, algorithms which estimate one or more decision tree models from given data and classify using them have been studied. However, these algorithms are not necessarily theoretically optimal. On the other hand, Suko et al. proposed Bayes optimal classification by considering every decision tree model (model class). However, we have to calculate the sum of every decision tree model which is included in model class in order to do this. Therefore, they proposed an algorithm achiving Bayes optimal classification under restriction. In addition, Arai et al. proposed an approximative algorithm under moderate restriction. In our study, we propose an approximative algorithm of the Bayes optimal classification. In this algorithm, we construct multiple model classes based on the idea of ensemble learning and average the outputs of these model classes with their posterior distributions. Also, experiments using synthetic data are performed to make sure its effectiveness and performance.
