Using CART to identify prescribing thresholds for cardiovascular disease
Background and objective Many guidelines for clinical decisions are hierarchical and non-linear. Evaluating if these guidelines are used in practice requires methods that can identify such structures and thresholds. We use classification and regression trees (CART) to analyse prescribing patterns of Australian General Practitioners (GPs) for the primary prevention of cardiovascular disease. Our...
متن کاملFeature Selection by Using Classification and Regression Trees (cart)
Hyper-spectral remote sensing increases the volume of information available for research and practice, but brings with it the need for efficient statistical methods in sample spaces of many dimensions. Due to the complexity of problems in high dimensionality, several methods for dimension reduction are suggested in the literature, such as Principal Components Analysis (PCA). Although PCA can be...
متن کاملInfluence Measures for CART Classification Trees
This paper deals with measuring the influence of observations on the results obtained with CART classification trees. To define the influence of individuals on the analysis, we use influence functions to propose some general criterions to measure the sensitivity of the CART analysis and its robustness. The proposals, based on jakknife trees, are organized around two lines: influence on predicti...
متن کاملClassification and Regression Tree (CART) Techniques
In certain research studies development of a reliable decision rule, which can be used to classify new observations into some predefined categories, plays an important role. The existing traditional statistical methods are inappropriate to use in certain specific situations, or of limited utility, in addressing these types of classification problems. There are a number of reasons for these diff...
متن کاملNonsmooth Optimization using Classification and Regression Trees
Nonsmooth local optimization problems occur in many fields, including engineering, mathematics, and economics. In economics, nonsmooth problems can be found in finance, mathematical economics and production theory. Examples include, nonsmooth utility maximization and exact penalty functions. However there are few convergent optimization algorithms to solve general nonsmooth or discontinuous pro...
