Decision trees and decision-making
Abstract
Various practical systems capable of extracting descriptive decision-making knowledge from data have been developed and evaluated. Techniques that represent knowledge about classified tasks in the form of decision trees are examined. A sample of techniques is sketched, ranging from basic methods of constructing decision trees to ways of using them noncategorically. Some characteristics that suggest whether a particular classification task is likely to be amenable or not to tree-based methods are discussed.>

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
