CART is classification and regression trees for a reason. A decision tree as stated above may or may not involve statistical analysis, and often is based on heuristics and not data. The original question should have been about classification trees. | |

| Jan 23, 2017 at 8:12 | comment | added | DaL | That it is a wonderful "brief sketch of this history". I thought that the roots should be deeper than 50 years but I didn't think they will get to Aristotle and the Babylonians. You showed very well how methods came closer to a decision tree. I still miss a more exact point of emergence. I was hoping to find a reference to some old book in which you cloud see a diagram and say: "well, that is a decision tree" ;-) | |
