Definition
C1Machine Learning
(technical, academic)A model that predicts continuous values by splitting data into subsets based on input features.
Example
- The regression tree model predicted the house prices with high accuracy.
- By using a regression tree, the researchers were able to forecast the amount of rainfall more precisely.
C1Data Science
(technical, academic)A technique that partitions data into regions and fits a simple model in each region to predict numerical outcomes.
Example
- In their analysis, they used a regression tree to handle the complex dataset.
- Regression trees are often combined with other methods to enhance predictive performance.
