Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When a partition is subdivided, we need to choose an independent variable and a splitting value. The independent variable is the variable that we use to make the split, and the splitting value is the value of that variable that separates the data into two partitions. For example, if we were creating a decision tree to predict whether or not a patient has a certain disease, we might use the patient's age as the independent variable and choose a splitting value of 50 (i.e., patients under 50 go in one partition and patients 50 and over go in another).
