Abstract: This paper presents results of an applied research effort focused on how to modify conventional recursive partitioning programs (e.g., CART, Knowledge Seeker, ID3) so that they will learn useful decision rules (prescriptions for action) from data. The desired output is no longer a probabilistic prediction of the value of a dependent variable, based on the observed values of independent variables. Instead, it is a prescription for what potentially costly actions to take (i.e., what values to... (Update)
