Packet 3: Tossup 3
Graphs named in analogy to these objects are used to visualize hierarchical clustering. Bootstrap aggregating of these structures is used in a machine learning method named for “random” places where they’re abundant. For a weighted undirected graph, Prim’s algorithm finds a (*) “minimum spanning” structure named for these objects. These objects name a structure that, if balanced, can be searched in logarithmic time. Types of a structure named for these objects include AVL, red-black, and a binary search type. For 10 points, a branching data structure named for what objects may have “root nodes” and “leaves?” ■END■
ANSWER: trees [accept minimum spanning trees or AVL trees or red-black trees or binary search trees or decision trees; accept dendrograms; accept random forests]
