Abstract:

In this roundtable we will discuss the R-package rpms. The package allows the user to fit a linear model to survey data in each node obtained by recursively partitioning the data. The splitting variables and splits selected are obtained using a procedure which accounts for complex sample design features used to obtain the data. The main function returns the resulting binary tree with the linear model fit at every end-node. In addition the package provides a number of functions and methods for analyzing survey data using the obtained tree model. Discussion will center on using the package for performing analysis of survey data, including model-building and interpretation.
