GC Overhead limit for Decision Tree
New Altair Community Member
Updated by Jocelyn
Hi everybody,
I've got a dataset with 580,000 instances and about 15 nominal features (except for the label which binominal) ,
when I run the process below , it gives me an error which says that GC over head limit (and a large error which says it's not possible to clone sampleset etc.)
is this usual in rapid miner ? or there's something wrong ?
Note : I should note that I have 6 Giga Bytes of memory available for rapidminer , and I guess the problem is with bagging , as it stops running when it reaches the 6th decision tree, but I don't know how to fix it
thanks

OPBut as you can see I am creating a DT model on 0.1 (first sampling) * 0.9(X-validation) * 0.4 (bagging) = 0.036 of the whole dataset (580,000*0.0036 = 20880) of instances , and It's not related to 40 rounds of bagging , as I said it stops at the 6th round before reaching the end of the bagging

Agreed, that should not be much of a problem. Then let's check your system setup: *should* you have 6GB available for RM, or do you really have them available? 
What does the System Monitor View in RapidMiner show? If you can't find it, you have to activate it via View->Show View->System Monitor.
Best,
Marius

OPActually, It has 6 Gig of Memory and I do the monitoring with jconsole in linux
you have 3 options:
1. increase the amount of memory of your machine
2. reduce the number of examples
3. reduce the number of iterations for the bagging operator
I would go for the last 2 options. 580.000 examples is quite a lot, I would apply a sampling beforehand. At the same time, 40 iterations for bagging is rather unusual, try to reduce to sth. around 10 and increase it gradually - probably you won't see a notable improvement beginning with a certain iteration count, because the learning curve reaches saturation.
I suggest to use Loop Parameters in combination with the log operator to investigate the impact of the iteration count on the performance.
Best,
Marius
