+ | |||
+ | Some of the disadvantaged of using decision tress for decision making and planning are the following [3]: | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Even a small change in input data can at times, cause large changes in the tree | ||
+ | * Decisions contained in the decision tree are based on expectations, and irrational expectations can lead to flaws and errors in the decision tree | ||
+ | * Large decision trees can be unwieldy and complex to us | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Applications ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Decision tress are used in the field of operational research, a discipline that deals with the application of advanced analytical methods to help make better decisions. Some examples of the fields where it is used: | ||
+ | * business and economics; project management | ||
+ | * health economics | ||
+ | * public health | ||
+ | * law suits | ||
