Practical Data Science using Python - Decision Tree - Iris Dataset Case Study

The video tutorial explains decision trees using the iris dataset, covering data preparation, exploratory data analysis, model building, and evaluation. It highlights the issue of overfitting and demonstrates how to visualize the decision tree using Graphviz. The tutorial provides a comprehensive understanding of decision trees, including the importance of train-test split and the interpretation of confusion matrices.
