Jan 7, 2021 at 3:45 comment added Ben Reiniger Quite confident. The trees are built in that fashion, and (post-)pruning essentially undoes some of those splits. Some more reading: scikit-learn.org/stable/auto_examples/tree/… (you could rerun that and add plot_tree, maybe), rdocumentation.org/packages/rpart/versions/4.1-15/topics/…, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decision_tree_pruning
Jan 7, 2021 at 3:18 comment added Student of Statistics Are you sure about this? You are saying that the decision is on whether or not to split - that is to say, at a node, either all or none leaves are kept. This sounds a bit doubtful intuitively - an unnecessary rigidity. (?)
