Abstract

Decision Trees are powerful and popular tools for prediction. These trees are especially useful where in addition to the accuracy of the prediction, the reason for the prediction is also important. This paper presents an application where these decision trees would be used to predict the gross income of a bollywood movie. The paper identifies several factors influencing a movie's income and applies decision tree learning to predict the gross income.
