The observations are classified into multiple classes based on the response variable. The most common type of classification model is the decision tree model. In this model, the observations are classified according to a simple set of rules.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These rules determine the class to which the observation belongs. A prediction model example for a classification model is a decision tree model. This popular model for classifying data can also be used to make other predictions, such as regression or clustering.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is one of the simplest and most widely used classification methods. It can be used for text classification, medical diagnosis, speech recognition, image recognition, financial data analysis, marketing analysis, and many other applications.
