CART (Classification and Regression Trees)

CART, which stands for Classification and Regression Trees, is a method used in data analysis to make predictions by splitting data into groups based on features. Imagine it like a flowchart that asks yes/no questions about your data (e.g., "Is age over 30?") to determine the category or value. For classification, it predicts categories (like spam or not spam). For regression, it predicts numerical values (like house prices). The tree grows by dividing data into smaller, more similar groups, helping identify patterns and make accurate predictions in a straightforward, visual way.
