Decision Trees
I completed an Extra credit assignment using Decision Trees. The goal was to use a new dataset and answer the questions given to me like the highest probability and the lowest probability, and the best value for minimum split. I chose to select a new data set, I’ve never used before, Elected People Committee and answered the questions given to me. The work involves analyzing a dataset from Open Data Philly’s election/polls category,”Elected People Committee.” This dataset contains information about elected officials, with features like division, ward division, name, address, zip code, type and location. The goal is to predict the outcome variable, which is the party (Democrat or Republican), by examining how these features show the party prediction through a decision tree. This assignment helped my knowledge with Decision trees, i can tell which branch shows the true statement and false statement and tell the highest probability and the lowest probability. I will be happy to continue using this in the future.
