===================================================================
Multi-output Decision Tree Regression
===================================================================

An example to illustrate multi-output regression with decision tree.

The :ref:`decision trees <tree>`
is used to predict simultaneously the noisy x and y observations of a circle
given a single underlying feature. As a result, it learns local linear
regressions approximating the circle.

We can see that if the maximum depth of the tree (controlled by the
`max_depth` parameter) is set too high, the decision trees learn too fine
details of the training data and learn from the noise, i.e. they overfit.
