Machine Learning - Decision Tree
I am still not sure about the Decision Tree's pruning feature. That is:
What exactly happens in pruning in DT?
Do rows (observations) get deleted OR
Do columns (features / x-variables / independent variables) get deleted?
For instance, if there are 1000 rows and 10 features in my dataset and I build a decision tree model (using all 10 features), then after pruning,
Do 1000 rows reduce to (1000-n) observations OR
do 10 features reduce to (10-n) features OR
Both
Is there any way I can see what happens what exactly gets pruned from my observations?
Any way I can compare the original vs Pruned model?
Thanks.

Neither. Pruning reduces the depth of the tree
