Why do some branches split?
A classification tree grows using a divide-and-conquer process. Each time the tree grows larger, it splits groups of data into smaller subgroups, creating new branches in the tree.
Given a dataset to divide-and-conquer, which groups would the algorithm prioritize to split first?
