1.K-NN算法可以完成很多分類任務，但是其中的一個較大的缺點是其無法給出數據的內在含義，決策樹能在數據形式上能對數據產生很好的解讀。決策樹能夠挖掘數據中蘊含的信息，因此決策樹可以應用於不熟悉的數據集，從中提取一系列的規則，而這個過程也是機器學習的過程。
2.構建決策樹時，如果該數據集的分類還不是同一類，計算該數據集的信息熵和不同特徵條件下的信息熵，選擇信息增益(information gain)最大的的特徵作爲劃分點，根據這劃分點劃分爲子集，然後對子集遞歸上述步驟，直到子集的數據都是同一類或者子集數據中無特徵可以一繼續分。信息熵（entropy）的計算H=-∑p(xi)logp(xi)。當第二個停止條件使用完了所有特徵，這時可以挑選出現次數最多的類別作爲子集的類別。
3.決策樹的流程：收集數據–>準備數據（樹的構造算法只適應標稱型數據，數值型數據要離散化）–>分析數據（可以使用任何方法，樹構造完成後可以檢查圖形是否符合預期）–>訓練算法（構造樹）–>測試算法（使用經驗樹計算錯誤率）–>使用算法（此步驟適合任何監督學習算法，從而使決策樹更好地理解數據的內在含義）
4.一些決策樹使用二分法劃分數據，ID3根據每一個不同的特徵值劃爲數據。C4.5和CART算法在運行時並不是總是每次劃分分組時都要消耗特徵。也因爲如此，這些算法會引起一些問題。
5.K-NN算法計算的分類器無法持久化，而決策樹算法計算的決策樹可以持久化。決策樹算法的優點：計算的複雜度不高，輸出的結果易於理解，對中間值的缺失不敏感，可以處理不相干特徵數據。缺點:可能會產生過度匹配。使用數據類型爲數值型和標稱型。
