Decision Tree, Decision Tree

Decision trees are commonly used in operations research, specifically in decision analysis, to help identify a strategy most likely to reach a goal.

More descriptive names for such tree models are classification tree (discrete outcome) or regression tree (continuous outcome). In these tree structures, leaves represent classifications and branches represent conjunctions of features that lead to those classifications. The machine learning technique for inducing a decision tree from data is called decision tree learning, or (colloquially) decision trees.
