Does anyone know how to prevent the branches of a decision tree from converging on each other? This is with Tikz - I've tried tweaking the sibling distance and things like that, but two of the branches at the end converge so that the final values are illegible.

Secondly, does anyone know how to put in a dashed line between the two square "choice" siblings? To indicate an information set.

I use yshift option to change the position of the nodes, to avoid overlapping.

I give two choice nodes some names (a and b) and draw a dashed line as usual.

Code:

 chance/.style = shape=circle, draw, align=center, color=black, fill=black, font=normalsize,

 outcome/.style = shape=rectangle, draw=white, align=center, font=tiny, parent anchor=left,

I would like to recommend forest, where the syntax is simpler and you do not have to worry about these things.
