Guide Explains Tree-Based Models From Decision Trees to Boosting

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

This article provides a guide to tree-based models, explaining their effectiveness with tabular data and their evolution from simple decision trees to advanced boosting algorithms like XGBoost, LightGBM, and CatBoost. It details how decision trees work by splitting data based on features and introduces impurity measures such as Gini Index and Entropy, which are used to determine the best splits for classifying data.
