Bayesian Decision Tree/Evidence
Method evidence record

Bayesian Decision Tree

Bayesian Decision Tree (Bayesian CART) places a prior distribution over tree structures and leaf parameters, then uses Markov chain Monte Carlo to explore the posterior distribution of trees given data. Instead of a single best tree, it produces a distribution of plausible trees whose predictions are averaged, yielding calibrated uncertainty estimates alongside point predictions.
