Decision Trees from Data Streams
A decision tree uses a divide-and-conquer strategy. It attacks a complex prob-
lem by dividing it into simpler problems and recursively applies the same
strategy to the sub-problems. Solutions of sub-problems can be combined to
yield a solution of the complex problem. The power of this approach comes
from the ability to split the instance-space into subspaces and each subspace is
fitted with different models. Decision trees are one of the most used algorithms
in the data mining community: they are distribution-free, and tree models ex-
hibit a high degree of interpretability. These factors strongly contribute ...
