Decision Trees
ABOUT
Decision trees are classification or regression models in form of a tree-shaped diagramm. They are used to show statistical probability or different decision options. Consequently, each branch represents a possible decision or occurrence and also indicates possible consequent decisions or subordinate data. In Data Mining processes, decision trees are produced by algorythms which analyse different ways of dividing a range of data into branch-like segments. Decision trees can show data in both a continous and categorical way.
