Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is a potential drawback of using Decision Trees?
  • Step 1: Understand what a Decision Tree is. It is a model used to make decisions based on data.
  • Step 2: Learn about overfitting. Overfitting happens when a model learns the training data too well, including its noise and outliers.
  • Step 3: Realize that Decision Trees can create very complex models that fit the training data perfectly.
  • Step 4: Know that if a Decision Tree is too complex, it may not perform well on new, unseen data.
  • Step 5: Understand that pruning is a technique used to simplify the tree and reduce overfitting.
