Decision tree methods is the one of data mining techniques. Classification trees are used to predict a class label. When a tree grows, the conventional splitting criteria use the weighted average of the left and the right child nodes for measuring the node impurity. In this paper, new splitting criteria for classification trees are proposed which improve the interpretablity of trees comparing to the conventional methods. The criteria search only for interesting subsets of the data, as opposed to modeling all of the data equally well. As a result, the tree is very unbalanced but extremely interpretable.
