Decision Tree is supervised machine learning algorithm which is used for both types of problems regression (that is predicting the continuous value for future example house price, hours the match can be played given overcast condition etc…) and classification (that is classifying different objects into respective categories or classes for example given the overcast conditions match will be played or not, given image belongs to cat or dog etc…).
The ID3 algorithm can be used to construct a decision tree for regression type problems by replacing Information Gain with Standard Deviation Reduction – SDR
A decision tree is built top down from a root node and involves partitioning the data into subsets that contain instances with similar values mean homogeneous data.
Here, standard deviation is used to calculate the homogeneity of a numerical sample (target variable).
