The ID3 algorithm is an inductive artificial intelligence technique that generates classification trees. These trees are similar to those used in simple expert systems; with ID3 they are generated by ...

Evolutionary algorithms have emerged as a robust alternative to traditional greedy approaches for decision tree induction. By mimicking the natural selection process, these algorithms iterate over a ...

This article considers a measure of variable importance frequently used in variable-selection methods based on decision trees and tree-based ensemble models. These models include CART, random forests, ...
