The Machine Learning “Advent Calendar” Day 6: Decision Tree Regressor
During the first days of this Machine Learning Advent Calendar, we explored models based on distances. Today, we switch to a completely different way of learning: Decision Trees. With a simple one-feature dataset, we can see how a tree chooses its first split. The idea is always the same: if humans can guess the split visually, then we can rebuild the logic step by step in Excel. By listing all possible split values and computing the MSE for […]
