Which of the following statements is not true about the Decision tree?1 pointa) It starts with a tree with a single leaf and assign this leaf a label according to a majority vote among all labels over the training setb) It performs a series of iterations and on each iteration, it examine the effect of splitting a single leafc) It defines some gain measure that quantifies the improvement due to the splitd) Among all possible splits, it either choose the one that minimizes the gain and perform it, or choose not to split the leaf at all

Solution

The statement that is not true about the Decision tree is:

d) Among all possible splits, it either choose the one that minimizes the gain and perform it, or choose not to split the leaf at all

This is incorrect because in decision tree algorithms, the split that maximizes the gain (not minimizes) is chosen. The gain is a measure of the reduction in entropy or impurity, so the goal is to maximize this reduction, thereby making the data subsets as pure as possible after the split.
