Recursively Partitioning Data<br />

Using the Partition Platform<br />

The Partition platform recursively partitions data according to a relationship between the X <strong>and</strong> Y values,<br />

creating a tree of partitions. It finds a set of cuts or groupings of X values that best predict a Y value. It does<br />

this by exhaustively searching all possible cuts or groupings. These splits (or partitions) of the data are done<br />

recursively forming a tree of decision rules until the desired fit is reached. This is a powerful platform, since<br />

it picks the optimum splits from a large number of possible splits.<br />

The platform offers three methods for growing the final predictive tree:<br />

• Decision Tree<br />

• Bootstrap Forest<br />

• Boosted Tree<br />

The Bootstrap Forest <strong>and</strong> Boosted Tree methods are available only in JMP Pro.<br />
