Decision Tree Produces All Same Predictions and Probabilities
Contributor II
Hi,
I have created a decision tree model that is highly accurate at predicting a nominal binary (yes/no) outcome for both the yeses and nos.
When I write the model and then read it into a new scoring process, every prediction is exactly the same in terms of predicted outcome and probabilities of yes or no. I have experienced the same issue with these data when using various types of tree algorithms. Using naive bayes and some other models does not produce the same problem.
Could I send you the xml as well as the training and scoring files to see if you can help me figure out what is going on?
Thanks!

have you checked if your tree is a real tree and not just a stump?

I have checked and confirmed that it is a real tree. However, I believe that I solved the problem, which turned out to be a data-related issue and unrelated to the software.
Thanks for your help!
