This month we'll look at classification and regression trees (CART), a simple but powerful approach to prediction 3. Unlike logistic and linear regression, CART does not develop a prediction equation.

Effectively using trees for ML classification and regression requires several tips. First, you should choose the right type and criterion of the tree, depending on your task and data.

Recall that in classification trees, the leaf nodes (the deepest nodes, or the ones at the end of each particular path) are the ones that contain the purest subsets of the data. Regression trees work ...

Abstract. Introduction: Research suggests that there is often a high degree of missingness in youth body mass index (BMI) data derived from self-reported measures, which may have a large effect on ...

Course TopicsClassification and regression tree (CART) methods are a class of data mining techniques which constitute an alternative approach to classical regression. CART methods are frequently used ...

Abstract: We challenge three of the underlying principles of CART, a well know approach to the construction of classification and regression trees (CART). Our primary concern is with the penalization ...
