Abstract

Decision trees are strong predictors which are used to explicitly represent large data sets. An efficient pruning method will prune or eliminate the non-predictive parts of the model and generate a small and accurate model. This paper presents an overview of the issues present in decision trees and the pruning techniques. We evaluated the results of our pruning method on a variety of machine learning data sets from UCI machine learning repository and found that it generates a concise and accurate model.
