This also makes them quite easy to work with. Decision trees, as the name suggests, use a tree-based structure for making a decision (finding the target variable). Each "branch" of the decision tree is made by following a rule, for example, "is some feature more than some value? – yes or no." Decision trees can be used both as regressors and classifiers with minimal changes. The following are the advantages and disadvantages of using decision trees for classification:

Advantages
