Hi everyone, While building a decision tree, we might need to stop splitting the tree if the information gain is no longer significant, or if we reach some pre-defined limit of the depth. This clearly save the time of processing on attributes that are not that important. However, I think that it a…

Do limiting depth of decision tree prevent overfitting?
