Machine Learning: An Introduction to Decision Trees

A decision tree is one of the widely used algorithms for building classification or regression models in data mining and machine learning. A decision tree is so named because the output resulting from it is the form of a tree structure. Consider a sample stock dataset as shown in the table below. The dataset comprises of Open, High, Low, Close Prices and Volume indicators (OHLCV) for the stock. Let us add some technical indicators (RSI, SMA, LMA, ADX) to this dataset.
