Class TreePruner

java.lang.Object

jsat.classifiers.trees.TreePruner

public class TreePruner
extends java.lang.Object

Provides post-pruning algorithms for any decision tree that can be altered using the TreeNodeVisitor. Pruning is done with a held out testing set
All pruning methods handle missing values
NOTE: API still under work, expect changes
