    • train

      public static DecisionTreeModel train(RDD<LabeledPoint> input, Strategy strategy)
      Method to train a decision tree model. The method supports binary and multiclass classification and regression.

      Parameters:
      input - Training dataset: RDD of LabeledPoint. For classification, labels should take values {0, 1, ..., numClasses-1}. For regression, labels are real numbers.
      strategy - The configuration parameters for the tree algorithm which specify the type of decision tree (classification or regression), feature type (continuous, categorical), depth of the tree, quantile calculation strategy, etc.
      Returns:
      DecisionTreeModel that can be used for prediction.

      Note:
      Using org.apache.spark.mllib.tree.DecisionTree.trainClassifier and org.apache.spark.mllib.tree.DecisionTree.trainRegressor is recommended to clearly separate classification and regression.
