In this paper, we develop a regression tree approach to identification and prediction of signals that evolve according to an unknown nonlinear state space model. ...
We illustrate the method for two cases where classical linear prediction is ineffective: a chaotic "doublescroll" signal measured at the output of a Chua-type electronic circuit and a second-order ART ...
Many discriminants are available for testing uniformity, including Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests [37] , rank-order statistical tests [16] , and scatter matrix tests [26] . ...

Splitting matters: how monotone transformation of predictor variables may improve the predictions of decision tree models
[article]
2016
arXiv
pre-print
It is widely believed that the prediction accuracy of decision tree models is invariant under any strictly monotone transformation of the individual predictor variables. ...
However, this statement may be false when predicting new observations with values that were not seen in the training-set and are close to the location of the split point of a tree rule. ...
While this study focused on a single split for a binary deterministic response variable (Y ), the results are in fact indicative to any type of recursive binary decision tree, be it a multiclass problem ...
