More complex models come at the cost of interpretation. A single decision tree
is able to explain you about the order of importance of the predictors. It tells you the proportion
of classification after each split. More complex models give you better results at the cost of
interpretation, but if you are generally interested about the factors that play a vital role in
the problem that you are trying to solve, you should go with simpler models first.
