Tree diagram

The term tree diagram is used in different ways in different disciplines. (Also used in math)In mathematics and statistical methods, a tree diagram is used to determine the probability of getting specific results where the possibilities are nested.In physics, a tree diagram is an acyclic connected Feynman diagram. The word tree is used just as in graph theory. A tree diagram corresponds to the results obtained from classical physics. One does not need to perform any integrals to calculate a tree diagram. The full result for the physical quantity must however include one-loop Feynman diagrams and also more complicated diagrams.In linguistics, a tree diagram or parse tree is one way to visually represent the structure of a sentence (see X-bar theory), a syllable, or phonological feature geometry.
