I love decision trees. Conceptually simple, computational efficient and giving very good results for a lot of tasks. I especially use them on microcontroller grade system, via emlearn - which converts scikit-learn models to embedded friendly C code.

These articles are a good and pretty comprehensive introduction. I would have loved to have even more examples around the bias/variance trade off for forests, it is a key concept that not all practitioners have integrated.

Is there a tool to better to visualize them than like this https://mathpn.com/_astro/weather_tree.GMStLECX_ZgpDEk.svg for humans? I have tried graphviz or doing it in tex to ugly outputs
