Question:
Create a regression tree using the accompanying data set (predictor variables: x1 to x4; target: y). Select the best-pruned tree for scoring and display the full-grown, best-pruned, and minimum error trees.
a. What is the minimum validation MSE in the prune log? How many decision nodes are associated with the minimum error?
b. Display the best-pruned tree. How many leaf nodes are in the best-pruned and minimum error trees?
c. What are the predictor variable and split value for the first split (root node) of the best-pruned tree? What are the rules that can be derived from the root node?
d. What are the RMSE and MAD of the best-pruned tree?
