This project implements an algorithm for inferring optimal binary decision trees. It is scikit-learn compatible and can be used in combination with scikit-learn. As a scikit-learn classifier, it implements the methods “fit” and “predict”.

This tool can be installed in two ways:

• download the source from github and install using the command python3 setup.py install in the root folder

• install from pip by using the command pip install dl8.5 in the console

Disclaimer: The compilation of the project has been tested with C++ compilers on the Linux and MacOS operating systems; Windows is not yet supported.
