Evolutionary algorithms have emerged as a robust alternative to traditional greedy approaches for decision tree induction. By mimicking the natural selection process, these algorithms iterate over a ...

The visual data mining process, seen in the first part of this two-part article, revealed patterns in four dimensions between cumulative gas well production and independent variables. "Jump ...

Dr. James McCaffrey of Microsoft Research says decision trees are useful for relatively small datasets and when the trained model must be easily interpretable, but often don't work well with large ...

For example, a decision tree regression model prediction might be, "If employee age is greater than 43.0 and age is less than or equal to 51.5 and years-experience is less than or equal to 20.0 and ...
