CART Tutorial

Usage:	`plotcarttree (cs {, stri})`
Input:
	`cs`	list of vectors: data structure which represents a binary tree and is produced by cartsplit procedure, contains vectors .. cs.val, cs.vec, cs.mean, cs.ssr, cs.nelem. See cartsplit for the description of cs.
	`stri`	string: optional argument, either missing, "nelem", "ssr" or "mean".

Note:

The content of the nodes in the picture of the tree is determined by the parameter stri. If this parameter is not given, in the nonterminal nodes there are given the splitting rule (for example x1<=1.34), and in the leaf nodes there are given the values of the regression function, that is, the mean of the observations in that node. If stri = "nelem", the number of observations in the nodes is plotted, if stri = "ssr", the sum of squared residuals in the nodes is plotted, and if stri = "mean", the mean of observations in the nodes is plotted.

Example:

; loads the library xclust library ("xclust") ; generate an artifcal dataset x1=#(0,0,0,0,1,1,1,1,1,2) x2=#(0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,1,1) x=x1~x2 y=#(0,0,0,0,100,100,100,120,120,120) ; run CART on our data cs=cartsplit(x,y,#(0,1)) ; plot CART tree plotcarttree(cs)

Result:

shows the tree with the splitting rules
