Decision Trees
DECISION TREE
An internal node is a test on an attribute.
A branch represents an outcome of the test, e.g., Color=red.
A leaf node represents a class label or class label distribution.
At each node, one attribute is chosen to split training examples into distinct classes as much as possible
A new case is classified by following a matching path to a leaf node.
