Question 1

What is the primary goal of impurity measures in Decision Trees?

  • To increase complexity
  • To determine the best splits
  • To visualize the tree

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider why we'd use metrics like Gini impurity.

Question 2

True or False: Leaf nodes can represent decisions based on the majority class in a Decision Tree.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about what happens at the end of the decision-making process.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Design a Decision Tree to classify animals based on features such as size, habitat, and diet. Discuss how you would approach the splitting and the considerations for impurities.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about what features could lead to the most distinct classifications.

Question 2

You're given a dataset that can be heavily affected by noise. How would you ensure your Decision Tree model performs well on unseen data? What pruning techniques would you apply?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider how tree depth can directly affect generalization.
