Recursive partitioning

Hello all,

I am a newbie and doing my PhD in psychology - my supervisor wants me to do a Recursive partitioning analysis. Can I use SAS to do that?

Hello @Marion83 and welcome to the SAS Support Communities!

Yes, I think you can use PROC HPSPLIT, a procedure available in recent versions of SAS/STAT, for this type of (decision tree) analysis.

See also Usage Note 57421 for more information.

Good luck with your PhD thesis!

@FreelanceReinhis correct that HPSPLIT can do this. I wrote a presentation about it that won "best paper in section" at MWSUG. It's a pretty cool PROC but there are some things to learn that are different from most PROCs.
