Request for Scikit-learn Documentation Update - Decision Tree page
by Chandrasekaran Ramachandran June 1, 2024

June 1, 2024

Hi Team, I am writing to bring to your attention a discrepancy in the documentation on the scikit-learn web page https://scikit-learn.org/stable/modules/tree.html Specifically, the documentation currently highlights in red text that does not support categorical variables for now. However, my understanding and assumption were that it supports both categorical and continuous variables. *"scikit-learn uses an optimized version of the CART algorithm; however, the scikit-learn implementation does not support categorical variables for now."* I also noticed that the example is provided on the same page for categorical variables. So, clarifying this information would greatly benefit users and enhance the usability of your documentation. If I am not wrong, please review and update the documentation? Thanks in advance for your attention to this email. Thanks and Regards, Chandrasekaran R.
