School and Workshop on Classification and Regression TreesMonth: March 2014 Date: March 10--26 Name: School and Workshop on Classification and Regression Trees Location: Institute for Mathematical Sciences, National University of Singapore, Singapore. DescriptionClassification and regression trees are an integral part of the toolbox of data mining, machine learning, and statistics. The year 2013 marks the fiftieth anniversary of the publication of the first journal article on the subject. New techniques have added capabilities that far surpass the early methods. Modern classification trees can partition the data with linear splits on subsets of variables and fit nearest-neighbor, kernel-density, and other models in the partitions. Regression trees can fit almost every kind of traditional statistical model, including least-squares, quantile, logistic, Poisson and proportional hazards models, as well as models for censored, longitudinal and multi-response data. The purpose of the workshop is to bring together current experts in the field to discuss recent developments and generate ideas for future research. The purpose of the school is to introduce the subject to other researchers and practitioners who are interested to learn the techniques. Information |
