Erratum to: Statistical Learning from a Regression Perspective

Abstract

In this chapter, we consider tree structures as part of a further transition from conventional regression to statistical learning. Classification and Regression Trees (CART) is emphasized. Tree structures are less important as stand-alone data analysis procedures than in the past. But they are essential components of many very effective statistical learning procedures discussed in later chapters. They also raise important conceptual and technical issues that will reoccur in subsequent material.
