TESTING THE TREES

First, we will use the trees given by Figures 4 and 5 to classify some fresh, modern basalts of known tectonic affinity, but from field areas that were not included in the training dataset. Then, the classification tree method will be applied to a published dataset of unknown tectonic affinity.
