Decision Trees vs. Random Forests: Understanding the Basics
In the world of Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence , two powerful algorithms often steal the spotlight — Decision Trees and Random Forests . Both are widely used for classification and regression problems, but they work in different ways. At iHub Talent Training Institute , we make these concepts simple for learners so they can confidently apply them in real-world AI projects. ๐ณ What is a Decision Tree? A Decision Tree is like a flowchart that makes decisions step by step. Each node in the tree represents a question about the data, and the branches represent possible answers. Finally, the leaves give you the prediction. Example: Imagine you’re building a model to decide whether a student should take a Data Science course. The tree may ask questions like: Does the student have programming knowledge? Are they interested in AI or Machine Learning? Based on answers, the tree reaches a decision. Advantages of Decision Trees: Easy to understand and visualize. ...
