Recursive Partitioning for Modeling Survey Data (rpms)

Description

This package provides a function rpms to produce an rpms object and method functions that operate on them. The rpms object is a representation of a regression tree achieved by recursively partitioning the dataset, fitting the specified linear model on each node separately. The recursive partitioning algorithm has an unbiased variable selection and accounts for the sample design. The algorithm accounts for one-stage of stratification and clustering as well as unequal probability of selection. There are also functions for producing random forest estimator (a list of rpms objects), a boosted regression tree and tree based zero-inflated model.
