- Blood-Test-Result
- standard methodology from Statistics is throw data away
- assign missing value to the most common value at node
- alternatively, assign missing value to the most common value at

frequencies at node
- latter tack, can be subdivided again later in the tree
- same approach can be used to classify examples
