decision tree
Predictive branching diagram
A decision tree is a diagram that maps out choices and their possible consequences, branching like a tree from a single starting point.
In business and planning, decision trees help visualize options and outcomes: The decision tree showed three paths forward, each with different risk profiles.
In machine learning and statistics, decision trees are algorithms that classify data by splitting it repeatedly based on feature values.
