A Simulated Annealing Approach to Designing Optimal Decision Trees for Classification, Prescriptive, and Survival Analysis

A binary decision tree is a highly interpretable machine learning model, as humans can easily understand how a prediction is made by answering a series of binary questions. Earlier work has provided a powerful framework for constructing optimal decision trees by utilizing multiple random warm starts...
