Question 1: Short answer

mediumAI-checkedDecision Trees & Ensembles

Training data in two features (f1,f2)(f_1, f_2): negatives (−1,0)(-1, 0), (2,1)(2, 1), (2,−2)(2, -2); positives (0,0)(0, 0), (1,0)(1, 0). Candidate tests are thresholds halfway between adjacent distinct values of one feature. The tree picks the test with the lowest average entropy ∑sidesnsidenH(side)\sum_{\text{sides}} \frac{n_\text{side}}{n} H(\text{side}) (base-2 logarithms). What is that lowest average entropy? Round to 3 decimals.
