<h2 id="the-cart-algorithm-for-classification" class="anchor">The CART algorithm for Classification </h2>
<h2 id="why-binary-splits" class="anchor">Why binary splits? </h2>
<p>For classification, the CART algorithm splits the data set in two subsets using a single feature \( k \) and a threshold \( t_k \).
This could be for example a threshold set by a number below a certain circumference of a malign tumor.
</p>
<p>How do we find these two quantities?
We search for the pair \( (k,t_k) \) that produces the purest subset using for example the <b>gini</b> factor \( G \).
The cost function it tries to minimize is then
</p>
$$
C(k,t_k) = \frac{m_{\mathrm{left}}}{m}G_{\mathrm{left}}+ \frac{m_{\mathrm{right}}}{m}G_{\mathrm{right}},
$$
<p>where \( G_{\mathrm{left/right}} \) measures the impurity of the left/right subset and \( m_{\mathrm{left/right}} \)
is the number of instances in the left/right subset
</p>
<p>Once it has successfully split the training set in two, it splits the subsets using the same logic, then the subsubsets
and so on, recursively. It stops recursing once it reaches the maximum depth (defined by the
\( max\_depth \) hyperparameter), or if it cannot find a split that will reduce impurity. A few other
hyperparameters control additional stopping conditions such as the \( min\_samples\_split \),
\( min\_samples\_leaf \), \( min\_weight\_fraction\_leaf \), and \( max\_leaf\_nodes \).
<p>It is custom to split to a tree uising binary splits. The reason is
that multiway splits fragment the data too quickly, leaving
insufficient data at the next level down. Multiway splits can be
achieved by a series of binary split and this is normally preferred.
