How is the best split determined at each node while building a Decision Tree?Answer choicesSelect only one optionREVISITWe split the data using the first independent variable and so on. based on the alphabetical orderThe first split is determined randomly and from then on we start choosing the best split.We make at most 5 splits on the data using only one independent variable and choose the split that gives the highest Information Gain.

Solution

The best split at each node while building a Decision Tree is determined by choosing the split that gives the highest Information Gain. This means that we evaluate each independent variable and choose the one that results in the highest reduction of entropy (or increase in purity) for our target variable. This process is repeated at each node until the tree is fully grown.
