Method for generating overlay decision tree in e.g. drug research application, involves integrating additional information about additional attributes into results of decisions, and visualizing decision tree

摘要

The method involves generating a decision tree (3) based on training data (2), where the tree has decision nodes (31) and results of decisions (32) for presenting overview statistics of target attributes (21) in a hierarchical model. Additional information about additional attributes (41) is integrated as a result, and the decision tree is visualized. The information is derived from the training data or additional data amount (4). The information is one of simple statistic information or contain complex overviews e.g. histograms, value distributions or distributions of characteristics. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a system for generating a decision tree (2) a machine-readable storage medium comprising a set of instructions to perform a method for generating a decision tree.
