| This series of guides introduces development practitioners to a statistical software package, Classification and Regression Tree (CART), that addresses problems of vulnerability to famine, chronic food insecurity, and other failures of entitlement. It outlines the methods of setting up a CART-based information system to identify indicators of these problems. CART is a 3-2 nonparametric technique that can select from among a large number of variables and their interactions that are most important in determining the outcome variable to be explained. |
