A tree-based method for modeling a multivariate ordinal response
A tree-based method for modeling a multivariate ordinal response
Motivated by a real example of understanding the socalled "building related occupant complaint syndromes" (BROCS), we propose a tree-based method for analyzing a multivariate ordinal response.Our method is semiparametric by assuming a within-node parametric distribution on the adaptive nonparametric tree framework.We use simulation experiments to demonstrate the ability of our …
