Bases: pipefitter.base.BaseEstimator

Decision Tree

Parameters:

alpha : float, optional

Specifies the value to use for minimal cost-complexity pruning for regression trees

cf_level : float, optional

Specifies the aggressiveness of tree pruning according to the C4.5 algorithm.

criterion : string, optional

Split criterion. Valid values are ‘variance’, ‘gain’, ‘gain_ratio’, and ‘gini’.

leaf_size : int, optional

Minimum leaf size

max_braches : int, optional

Maximum number of branches

max_depth : int, optional

Maximum depth of trees

n_bins : int, optional

Number of bins to use for numeric variables in the calculation of the decision tree

prune : boolean, optional

Specify True to use a C4.5 pruning method for classification trees or minimal cost-complexity pruning for regression trees

var_importannce : bool, optional

Specifies whether the variable importance information is generated

target : string, optional

The target variable

nominals : string or list of strings, optional

The nominal variables

inputs : string or list of strings, optional

The input variables

Returns:

DecisionTree
