Decision trees are one of the top machine learning algorithms used by data scientists. Decision trees use supervised learning to classify problems. Even if you are not a data scientist, chances are you can interpret the visual output from a decision tree.

I previously wrote about how to understand standardized regression coefficients in PROC REG in SAS.
