    Study Notes

    Decision Tree

    • Decision tree induction is a learning paradigm that breaks down training examples into smaller subsets.
    • This process incrementally develops an associated decision tree.
    • The final tree covers the entire training set.
    • A decision tree can be represented as propositional logic statements in Disjunctive Normal Form.

    Decision Tree Characteristics

    • Attribute-value paired elements: Features with defined values (e.g., sunny, overcast, rainy).
    • Discrete target function: Possible outcomes have specific, distinct values, not a range.
    • Disjunctive descriptions: Descriptions can involve multiple, mutually exclusive conditions to describe the target function.
    • Handles missing/erroneous training data well: Relatively robust to incomplete or inaccurate data.

    Decision Tree Expressiveness

    • Decision trees can express any function of input attributes.
    • This is shown by the example that demonstrates how a decision tree can map input values to output values.

    Decision Tree Learning Example

    • Data Set: A dataset with attributes (Outlook, Temperature, Humidity, Wind) and a target variable (Play Tennis).
    • Goal: Predict the target variable using the attributes.
    • Learning Process: The images illustrate the step-by-step learning process, showing how the decision tree is constructed using entropy and gain calculations to select the best attribute at each decision node.
    • Data Examples: The data displays a set of instances from the dataset used in the learning process.
