Create and compare classification trees, and export trained models to make
predictions for new data.
Understand the steps for supervised learning and the characteristics of nonparametric classification and regression functions.
Understand decision trees and how to fit them to data.
To grow decision trees, fitctree and
fitrtree apply the standard CART algorithm by default to
the training data.
Create and view a text or graphic description of a trained decision
tree.
This example shows how to visualize the decision surface for different classification algorithms.
Learn about the heuristic algorithms for optimally splitting categorical
variables with many levels while growing decision trees.
Tune trees by setting name-value pair arguments in
fitctree and fitrtree.
Predict class labels or responses using trained classification and regression
trees.
Predict responses for new data using a trained regression tree, and then plot
the results.
