Decision and Classification Trees, Clearly Explained!!!

Показать описание
Decision trees are part of the foundation for Machine Learning. Although they are quite simple, they are very flexible and pop up in a very wide variety of situations. This StatQuest covers all the basics and shows you how to create a new tree from scratch, one step at a time.

NOTE: This is an updated and revised version of the Decision Tree StatQuest that I made back in 2018. It is my hope that this new version does a better job answering some of the most frequently asked questions people asked about the old one.

Note, you may also want to learn about...

The complexity of understanding the concepts and explaining them so simply show what a great teacher Josh is.

This channel helped me a loooot! It helps me from researching to looking for a job, from recreating myself to exploring the field of statistics and machine learning. You are the best! I can't express my gratefulness in words!

You are the REAL GOAT! The best and most intuitive textbook is ISL and your YouTube video makes this even better. Hats off to your hard work.

Thank you Josh, there is no channel on Youtube (or maybe on the Internet) that explains this topics as nifty as you do.

I love this video ( in the same spirit of many other of your machine learning algorithm videos) because after watching it, I actually managed to code a simple classification tree on my own to just solidify the things I learned here, and after watching this video, all the parameters in scikit-learn DecisionTreeClassifier are making sense to me. Most of the ML videos and many of the classes out there only talk about very generalized, high-level ideas of these models. You don’t. You always do such a great job giving clear yet detailed explanation of the nitty gritty of these models. Between the ISLP/ISLR books and your videos I am able to gain basic understanding beyond just making api calls of caret in R or sklearn in python. It really made me feel like I am learning, instead of just typing formulas on the keyboard. Could never thank you enough ❤❤❤
