Re: Spark ML Decision Trees Algorithm
Perhaps the best way is to read the code. The Decision tree is implemented by 1-tree Random forest, whose entry point is `run` method: https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/master/mllib/src/main/scala/org/apache/spark/ml/tree/impl/RandomForest.scala#L88 I'm not familiar with the so-called algorithms of decision tree, such as ID4, CART. However, I believe that the implementation of decision tree of sklearn is quite similar with those of spark, and some difference are listed below: 1. Continuous feature. sklearn use all candidate values to find best split, while spark groups all candidate values into fixed bins. 2. Build tree. sklearn provides two methods: depth-first and best-first, while spark has only one: depth-first. 3. Split number. sklearn creates one split per iteration, while spark could split in parallel. If I'm wrong, please let me know.

Re: Spark ML Decision Trees Algorithm
It would be good to know which paper has inspired to implement the version which we use in spark 2.0 decision trees ? On Fri, Sep 30, 2016 at 4:44 PM, Peter Figliozzi wrote: > It's a good question.

Re: Spark ML Decision Trees Algorithm
It's a good question. People have been publishing papers on decision trees and various methods of constructing and pruning them for over 30 years. I think it's rather a question for a historian at this point.

Re: Spark ML Decision Trees Algorithm
Read this explanation but wondering if this algorithm has the base from a research paper for detail understanding.

Re: Spark ML Decision Trees Algorithm
Is there a reference to the research paper which is implemented in spark 2.0 ?
