# Decision Tree
{% hint style="success" %}
*Check out the walk-through to use the Decision Tree chart component in the Designer module.*
{% endhint %}
A Decision Tree chart that helps determine a course of action or show a statistical probability. The chart is called a decision tree due to its resemblance to the namesake plant, usually outlined as an upright or a horizontal diagram that branches out.
The Decision Tree chart is made up of various nodes. It contains three types of nodes: Decision nodes, chance nodes, and outcome nodes. Starting from the Decision node, each ***branch*** of the Decision Tree represents a possible decision, outcome, or reaction. The furthest branches on the tree represent the results of a certain decision pathway and are called the "leaves".
## **The Best Situation to Use a Decision Tree Chart**
* To classify the data based on a condition
* To display continuous nodes as endpoints in a Regression Tree
Some examples where Decision Tree may be used:
* To predict the Customer's action/reaction
* To forecast Stock market movements
