An illustrative example of a decision node. Several terminologies can be used to describe decision trees. The root node is the start of the tree, and branches connect nodes. A child node is any node that has been split from a previous node, whereas a decision node is any node that allows two or more options to follow it. A chance node is any node that may represent uncertainty.
