    The document discusses decision tree classifiers, which are a type of supervised machine learning algorithm that can be used for both regression and classification problems. Decision trees have a tree-like structure with root, decision, and leaf nodes that split the data into branches. They are simple to understand, useful for decision problems, and require less data cleaning than other algorithms, though they can also be unstable, have complex calculations, and lower prediction accuracy. An example of using a decision tree for medical diagnosis is provided.

    Decision Tree Classifier

    Machine Learning Laboratory


    CSE 458
    Decision Tree algorithm belongs to the family of supervised learning algorithms.
    Basically Supervised learning is when we teach or train the machine using data that is
    well-labelled.

    The decision tree algorithm can be used for solving regression and classification
    problems.

    For example: Regression like that continuous nature. Predicting a person's income.
    Classification like that Category nature. For example, Yes or No.

    Decision Tree is one of the easiest and popular classification algorithms to


    understand and interpret.

    Temp Yes No

    Hot Mild Cold

    No Yes Yes
    Advantages
    • Simple to understand

    • Very useful for solving decision-related problems.

    • It helps to think about all the possible outcomes for a problem.

    • There is less requirement of data cleaning compared to other


    algorithms.
    • Unstable

    • Complex calculations

    Disadvantages • Biased information gain

    • Higher training time

    • Lower prediction accuracy


    A Real Life Example

    • Medical Diagnosis using Decision Tree


    • Suppose a hospital wants to create a system to assist doctors in diagnosing
    whether a patient has a particular medical condition, such as diabetes. The
    dataset for training the decision tree includes various patient attributes like
    age, body mass index (BMI), blood pressure, family history, and results from
    specific medical tests.
