Abstract: Abstract We consider a simple example to provide intuition into the working of classification trees. We analyse data relating to arsenic in wells in Bangladesh first using logistic regression and then by fitting a classification tree, to get a further feel for classification trees. Finally we fit a classification tree and then use the random forest method for the HMDA data.
