This was a rather cryptic bug that was really difficult to track down.
Thank you @FedericoMz for providing the reproducible example, I would never find the culprit without that.
In the end, the problem was not in EFDT but in the splitter used in nominal attributes. It previously used
collection.defaultdict
objects in an attempt to simplify and speed up the code.However, during prediction actions (such as
predict_proba_one
anddebug_one
) if thecollection.defaultdict
in the splitter was checked for the existence of a previously non-observed branch, the missing value would be inadvertently created.This created a mismatch between the number of existing and tracked tree branches.
This bug could potentially affect other trees, but was really hard to come by.
