Hi Sanant,

the values represent the thresholds at the current feature (node), which are used to classify the next sample.

You can see an example here:
http://scikit-learn.org/stable/modules/tree.html

The first node uses the feature "petal length (cm)" with a threshold of 2.45.

If your future sample as a petal length <= 2.45cm it will be pushed into the left branch and therefore will be classifies as class = setosa.
However, if the petal length is > 2.45cm, it will be pushed into the right branch and the next node (feature) is evalueted.

I hope I understood your question correct.


Best regards,
Piotr

Hi all,

Thanks for the suggestion. 

I have a related question on tree visualization

I have 2 classes to predict: 0 and 1 (it comes up as a numeric field when I load the dataset)

I have given the class_names as "NotPresent" and "Ispresent" which I believe it will map to 0 and 1. is that correct?


How do I interpret the nodes and value present in each nodes in the accompanying diagram?

Regards,
Sanant

Hi, Greg,
if you provide the `class_names` argument, a “class” label of the majority class will be added at the bottom of each node. For instance, if you have the Iris dataset, with class labels 0, 1, 2, you can provide the `class_names` as ['setosa', 'versicolor', 'virginica’], where  0 -> ‘setosa’, 1 -> ‘versicolor’, 2 -> ‘virginica’.

Best,
Sebastian
