In this tutorial, we will explore the applications of decision trees in regression problems. Regression is a type of machine learning task where the goal is to predict a continuous value. Decision trees, being a powerful predictive modeling technique, are often used in regression tasks.
Common Regression Applications Using Decision Trees
1. Housing Price Prediction
Decision trees can be used to predict housing prices based on various features such as location, number of rooms, and square footage.
2. Stock Market Analysis
Predicting stock prices is a challenging task, but decision trees can help identify patterns and trends that might influence stock prices.
3. Energy Consumption Forecasting
Decision trees can forecast energy consumption patterns in residential or commercial buildings by analyzing historical data.
4. Medical Diagnosis
