Abstract
A decision tree analysis system and method for navigating a multi-dimensional decision tree uses acceptable alternative child nodes of a target child node to select an end child node for a parent node, where the parent node and the final child node define a single step of a navigation path for the multi-dimensional decision tree. The acceptable alternative child nodes are based on an acceptance delta parameter for a particular attribute, which defines a value range about an attribute value of the target child node within which a child node is determined to be an acceptable alternative child node of the target child node.
