  ===================================================================
  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.
