Given a dataset credit.csv with imbalanced class distributions and a high-dimensional feature space,
discuss the challenges and considerations in using decision trees for classification. Propose strategies
for mitigating the impact of class imbalance and feature selection to improve model robustness and
generalisation performance.You are being provided with a meta data also please rad it before doing
implementation.
