(noun)

A vertex point on a decision tree. Other branches may extend from it; if none do, it is an end node.

Examples of node in the following topics:

  • Decision Trees

    • Unlike a flow chart, a decision tree consists of three types of nodes:
    • Chance nodes - represented by circles – the branch taken is determined by probabilities.
    • End nodes - represented by triangles – there are no more branches extending from the node, and the final value of the strategy is listed.
    • Each end node was given a value.
    • Next to the terminal nodes is blue text with the yield and gain.
