| 摘要 |
The present invention is a method of allowing inclusion of more than one variable in a Classification and Regression Tree (CART) analysis. The method includes predicting y using p exploratory variables, where y is a multivariate, continuous response vector, describing a probability density function at "parent" and "child" nodes using a multivariate normal distribution, which is a function of y, and defining a split function where "child" node distributions are individualized, compared to the parent node. In one embodiment a system is configured to implement the multivariate CART analysis for predicting behavior in a non-performing loan portfolio. |
