CLASSIFICATION & REGRESSION TREES
CART®
As one of the most important and popular tools in modern data mining, CART® is the ultimate classification tree. CART® and its modeling engine have revolutionized the field of advanced analytics and inaugurated the current era of data science.
For those new to CART®, it is a tree-based algorithm that works by looking at many various ways to locally partition or split data into smaller segments based on differing values and combinations of predictors. CART® selects the best performing splits, then repeats this process recursively until the optimal collection is found. The result is a decision tree represented by a series of binary splits leading to terminal nodes that can be described by a set of specific rules. The tree and its layout is visually stimulating and intuitive to interpret so you don’t have to be a data scientist to understand and gain useful insights from it.
Designed for users of all levels, CART® model can quickly reveal important relationships that could remain hidden when using other analytical tools. CART® stands out in the predictive analytics field thanks to its original, highly desirable methodology that includes built-in automation, ease-of-use, performance, and accuracy.
