The final information gain per branch

Now, we can calculate the entropy of all the branches using a frequency table of two attributes for the rest of the columns, similar to what we did for Outlook, and get the following result:

For the branch Humiditythere are two possible sub-branches, which have the following results breakup:

yes no total
Humidity high 3 3 6
normal 6 1 7

13

 

Similarly, for Wind, the breakup is as follows: 

yes no total
Wind weak 6 2 8
strong 3 2 5
13

For Temperature, it is as follows:

yes no total
Temperature Hot 2 2 4
Mild 4 1 5
Cool 3 1 4
13

 

We calculate the branchEntropy and the Information gain for each branch, and here are the results following similar ...
