Abstract
Given a data set consisting of n observations on p independent variables and a single dependent variable, treed regression creates a binary tree with a simple linear regression function at each of the leaves. Each node of the tree consists of an inequality condition on one of the independent variables. The tree is generated from the training data by a recursive partitioning algorithm. Treed regression models are more parsimonious than CART models because there are fewer splits. Additionally, monotonicity in some or all of the variables can be imposed.Keywords
