What is the impact of pruning on the bias-variance tradeoff in a Decision Tree model?
- Increases bias, reduces variance
- Increases both bias and variance
- Reduces bias, increases variance
- Reduces both bias and variance
Pruning a Decision Tree leads to a simpler model, which can increase bias but reduce variance. This tradeoff helps to avoid overfitting the training data and often results in a model that generalizes better to unseen data.
