Examining split for value "some" There are 4 examples in this split. For the classification no, 2. are expected. (A fraction of .5) There were actually 0 for a difference of -2. This contributes 2. to Q. For the classification yes, 2. are expected. (A fraction of .5) There were actually 4. for a difference of 2. This contributes 2. to Q. Examining split for value "full" There are 6 examples in this split. For the classification no, 3. are expected. (A fraction of .5) There were actually 4. for a difference of 1.
