Patent ID: 11688113

Abstract:
Systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer program products are disclosed for generating a single-index model (SIM) tree. An example method includes receiving a data set and a maximum tree depth. The example method further includes screening a set of variables from the data set to form split variables. The method may include, while maximum tree depth has not been reached, (i) generating a fast SIM estimation for nodes of a tree level, (ii) for each node, selecting a split point and split variable based on the fast SIM estimation, (iii) based on the selected split points and split variables, generating nodes for a next tree level, each including a subset of data, and (iv) repeating steps (i), (ii), and (iii). The method may include fitting a SIM for each leaf node at maximum tree depth based on a subset of the data set represented by the leaf node.
