Decision trees are widely-used classification and regression models because of their interpretability and good accuracy. Classical methods such as CART are based on greedy approaches but a growing attention has recently been devoted to optimal decision trees. We investigate the nonlinear continuous optimization formulation proposed in Blanquero et al.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
