Partition Models
Use Decision Trees to Explore and Model Your Data
The Partition platform recursively partitions data according to a relationship between the predictors and response values, creating a decision tree. The partition algorithm searches all possible splits of predictors to best predict the response. These splits (or partitions) of the data are done recursively to form a tree of decision rules. The splits continue until the desired fit is reached. The partition algorithm chooses optimum splits from a large number of possible splits, making it a powerful modeling, and data discovery tool.
