Abstract
In Chapter 9, we introduced univariate regression trees and briefly discussed classification trees. In this chapter we expand on Chapter 9 and provide a detailed explanation of classification trees applied to using radar records to identify bird movements important in choosing sites for offshore wind farms. Tree model software tends to produce large amounts of numerical output, which can be difficult to interpret, and this chapter provides a detailed discussion on interpreting this output.
