There are concepts that are hard to learn because decision treesĭo not express them easily, such as XOR, parity or multiplexer problems.ĭecision tree learners create biased trees if some classes dominate. Where the features and samples are randomly sampled with replacement. ThisĬan be mitigated by training multiple trees in an ensemble learner, Such algorithmsĬannot guarantee to return the globally optimal decision tree. Locally optimal decisions are made at each node. Consequently, practical decision-tree learning algorithmsĪre based on heuristic algorithms such as the greedy algorithm where NP-complete under several aspects of optimality and even for simpleĬoncepts. The problem of learning an optimal decision tree is known to be Piecewise constant approximations as seen in the above figure. Predictions of decision trees are neither smooth nor continuous, but This problem is mitigated by using decision trees within an Such as pruning, setting the minimum number of samples requiredĪt a leaf node or setting the maximum depth of the tree areĭecision trees can be unstable because small variations in theĭata might result in a completely different tree being generated. The disadvantages of decision trees include:ĭecision-tree learners can create over-complex trees that do not The true model from which the data were generated. Performs well even if its assumptions are somewhat violated by
Possible to account for the reliability of the model. Possible to validate a model using statistical tests. Network), results may be more difficult to interpret. The explanation for the condition is easily explained by boolean logic.īy contrast, in a black box model (e.g., in an artificial neural If a given situation is observable in a model, Techniques are usually specialized in analyzing datasets that have only one type

The cost of using the tree (i.e., predicting data) is logarithmic in the Note however that this module does not support missing Normalization, dummy variables need to be created and blank values toīe removed.
