![]() | Decision Trees Display Options | Back-chain Decision Tree Inference | ![]() |
The basic runtime inference for a Decision Tree Object starts with the root node and follows a single path through the tree towards a Leaf node (terminal node). Each encountered node Object is invoked (according to its own inference mechanism) in turn. Where a node presents a branch split, the value of the invoked Object will determine which branch is followed toward the next node. The Leaf node sets the value of the Tree Object itself (unless the Leaf node is "Empty") and the Object's Tree inference ends (unless the Leaf node is set to a user-defined Label whereby inference is transferred to the point where this Label is defined)
