Decision Tree • C5.0 • CART
A job offer to be considered begins at the root node, where it is then passed through decision nodes that require choices to be made based on the attributes of the job. These choices split the data across branches that indicate potential outcomes of a decision, depicted here as yes or no outcomes, though in some cases there may be more than two possibilities. In the case a final decision can be made, the tree is terminated by leaf nodes (also known as terminal nodes) that denote the action to be taken as the result of the series of decisions. In the case of a predictive model, the leaf nodes provide the expected result given the series of events in the tree.
Divide and conquer Decision trees are built using a heuristic called recursive partitioning. This approach is also commonly known as divide and conquer because it splits the data into subsets, which are then split repeatedly into even smaller subsets, and so on and so forth until the process stops when the algorithm determines the data within the subsets are sufficiently homogenous, or another stopping criterion has been met.
To see how splitting a dataset can create a decision tree, imagine a bare root node that will grow into a mature tree. At first, the root node represents the entire dataset, since no splitting has transpired. Next, the decision tree algorithm must choose a feature to split upon; ideally, it chooses the feature most predictive of the target class. The examples are then partitioned into groups according to the distinct values of this feature, and the first set of tree branches are formed How Decision Tree works
