Limited Tree Depth
Change how deep the tree is arranged in. Your trees should grow downwards because it might miss key aspects that are too far up. Take care to have it there in good measure then, not too shallow and nor too deep to extract the best results.
- Example: A decision tree model for predicting stock prices may have limited depth, missing complex patterns in market trends that could affect stock performance.
- Prevention: Adjust the tree depth to capture all relevant patterns without overfitting, ensuring the model can learn from the data effectively.
How to Avoid Common Mistakes in Decision Trees
Decision trees are powerful tools in machine learning, but they can easily fall prey to common mistakes that can undermine their effectiveness. In this article, we will discuss 10 common mistakes in Decision Tree Modeling and provide practical tips for avoiding them.
