Questions and Answers

What is the goal of a decision tree?

  • To segment the predictor space into simple regions (correct)
  • To create complex boundaries for continuous variables
  • To maximize entropy in the data set
  • To minimize information gain from the split
  • What does pruning in decision trees aim to achieve?

  • Reduce overfitting by limiting tree depth (correct)
  • Maximize impurity in terminal nodes
  • Increase overfitting by expanding tree depth
  • Minimize information gain from root splits
  • What does bagging involve in ensemble learning?

  • Aggregating the results of identical models
  • Creating multiple decision trees trained on different bootstrap samples (correct)
  • Creating a single decision tree trained on multiple bootstrap samples
  • Training decision trees on the entire data set without sampling
