BART: Bayesian Additive Regression Trees

1 Introduction We consider the fundamental problem of making inference about an unknown function f that predicts an output Y using a p dimensional vector of inputs x = (x1;:::;xp) when Y = f(x)+†; † » N(0;¾2): (1) To do this, we consider modelling or at least approximating f(x) = E(Y jx), the mean of Y given x, by a sum of m regression trees f(x) … h(x) · Pm j=1 gj(x)

Multiple Linear Regression Model One possible model for the population regression function is the multiple linear regression model, an analogue of the simple linear regression model: " " Interpretation of: The change in the mean of if is increased by one unit and all other explanatory variables, " are held fixed.

INTRODUCTION •Regression modelling goal is complicated when the researcher uses time series data since an explanatory variable may influence a dependent variable with a time lag. This often necessitates the inclusion of lags of the explanatory variable in the regression. •If “time” is the unit of analysis we can still regress some dependent
