CART (Classification and Regression Trees) Program: The Implementation of the CART Program and Its Application to Estimating Attrition Rates.

Abstract

The main purpose of this thesis is the implementation of the classification and regression trees (CART) computer programs on the Naval Postgraduate School Computer system. An additional goal is the forecasting of officer attrition rates of the U.S. Marine Corps. The use of this program requires a deep understanding of the algorithmic structure of CART and the user must experiment with it in order to develop a reasonable approach to the management of the computer's memory. The complete set of commands required to run the programs, and the complete results, are included. Keywords: Computer files. (Author)
