Term · Environment · MLC-T-ENV-007440

1. A hierarchy of rules within a computer program, represented by a tree-like structure, that enables a set of data to be classified. A series of selection criteria classify the data into smaller and smaller categories. (AAS 1999)

2. Alternative choices available at each stage of deciding how to manage a clinical problem, displayed graphically; at each branch or decision node, the probabilities of each outcome that can be predicted are shown; the relative worth of each outcome is described in terms of its utility or quality of life, e.g., as measured by probability of life expectancy or freedom from disability. (CancerWEB 2005)
