Decision Tree Pruning: Fundamentals and Applications

In machine learning and search algorithms, pruning is a data compression approach that minimizes the size of decision trees by deleting sections of the tree that are non-critical and redundant to classify instances. This reduces the amount of data that has to be stored in the tree. The prediction accuracy is improved as a result of the reduction in overfitting brought about by the use of pruning, which brings about a simplification of the final classifier.
