PROJECT ON DECISION TREES


NAME: Your Name
ROLL NO.: Your Roll No.

Abstract
Decision Trees are one of the most intuitive and widely used algorithms in Machine
Learning for both classification and regression tasks. This project explains the working of
Decision Trees, their applications, and how they help in making accurate and interpretable
decisions based on data. The study involves building a simple Decision Tree classifier and
analyzing its performance on a dataset.

Introduction
Decision Trees are a supervised learning technique used for both classification and
regression problems. They work by splitting the dataset into subsets based on the value of
input features. This structure resembles a tree, where internal nodes represent a test on a
feature, branches represent the outcome, and leaves represent the final decision.

Study Objective:
- To understand the concept and working of Decision Trees.
- To build and evaluate a Decision Tree model using Python and Scikit-learn.
- To explore real-world applications and future trends.

Scope:
- Implementation on publicly available datasets.
- Use of Scikit-learn for building and visualizing Decision Trees.

Limitations:
- Limited to small datasets.
- May not generalize well on complex, large-scale problems due to overfitting.

Real-world application
Decision Trees are used in:
- Medical Diagnosis
- Credit Risk Analysis
- Customer Segmentation
- Fraud Detection
- Recommendation Systems

Challenges and future trends


Challenges:
- Prone to overfitting on training data.
- Can become unstable with small variations in data.
- Not ideal for continuous or high-dimensional data.

Future Trends:
- Use of Ensemble Methods like Random Forests and Gradient Boosting to improve
accuracy.
- Integration with Explainable AI (XAI) for better interpretability.
- Application in areas like autonomous vehicles and personalized medicine.

Conclusion
Decision Trees are a powerful and easy-to-understand model in Machine Learning. Despite
their limitations, they serve as a fundamental building block for advanced ensemble
methods. With proper tuning and modern techniques, Decision Trees continue to have a
significant role in real-world applications.
