Decision Trees Regression is a powerful statistical analysis program that generates classification and Regression Trees and Support Vector Machine models that can be used to predict values. The process of extracting useful information from a set of data values is called Data Mining. Many techniques have been developed for data mining, and there is an art to selecting and applying the best method for a particular situation. DTREG implements the most powerful predictive modeling methods that have been developed. Methods are including TreeBoost and Decision Tree Forests as well as Support Vector Machine and Logistic Regression models. Benchmarks have shown these methods to be highly effective for analyzing and modeling many types of data.
