Hello,

 

I am working on a decision tree. When calibrating the parameters within the decision tree node, one can set a splitting rule for interval targets, nominal targets and ordinal targets. Yet, my target variable is binary and classified as such.

 

Which splitting rule applies to to my target variable?

 

Thank you in advance.

The nominal criterion is used for a binary target.
