In data science and machine learning, decision trees are powerful models for both classification and regression tasks. They follow a top-down greedy approach to select the best feature for each split. Two fundamental metrics determine the best split at each node – Gini Index and Entropy. This blog will explore what these metrics are, and how they are used with the help of an example.

Many generative AI tools seem to possess the power of prediction. Conversational AI chatbots like ChatGPT can suggest the next verse in a song or poem. Software like DALL-E or Midjourney can create original art or realistic images from natural language descriptions. Code completion tools like GitHub Copilot can recommend the next few lines of code. But generative AI is not predictive AI.
