Video Presentation:  Numb3rs “In Security”

In this episode of Numb3rs, Don knows that his actions have led to the death of a protected witness, and assumes that he therefore made the wrong decision about whether or not to interact with her. To try to find out the truth, Charlie uses a Classification And Regression Tree (CART) Analysis to try to analyze Don's motivations and determine whether he was actually at fault. This statistical method has applications in a variety of fields, including in medicine.
