Issue #138 - A Field Guide to Tree Models

Almost every tabular problem you will ever ship is solved by a tree. Not a neural network, not a linear model. A tree, or a few hundred of them stacked in some clever way. The confusing part is that “tree model” covers a dozen different algorithms with genuinely different behaviour, and the names do not tell you much. This is a tour of the ones worth knowing. For each one: what it is, how it actually works, three lines to train it, and the one property that makes it different from its neighbours.
