@article{Kern2019TreebasedML, title={Tree-based machine learning methods for survey research}, author={C. Kern and T. Klausch and F. Kreuter}, journal={Survey research methods}, year={2019}, volume={13}, pages={73-93} }
Predictive modeling methods from the field of machine learning have become a popular tool across various disciplines for exploring and analyzing diverse data. These methods often do not require specific prior knowledge about the functional form of the relationship under study and are able to adapt to complex non-linear and non-additive interrelations between the outcome and its predictors while focusing specifically on prediction performance. This modeling perspective is beginning to be adopted… CONTINUE READING
