A tree‐structured classifier is a decision tree for predicting a class variable from one or more predictor variables. THAID was the first such algorithm. This article focuses on the classification and regression trees CART ® C4.5, and GUIDE methods. The algorithms are briefly reviewed and their similarities and differences are compared on a real data set and by simulation. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
