Classification and Regression Tree (CART) Model

[tliu]

Hi, Is it easy to perform a CART model in SAS? Are there any resources on creating a CART model in SAS--sample codes, white paper? Can someone please point me to the right direction?

I only have SAS BASE and STATS, do I need SAS Enterprise or Forecasting to perform statistical analysis on financial data?

Thank you very much.

CART is in the Enterprise Miner software, one of the more expensive add-ons. There are some third part add-ons, google +SAS +CART for them.

Depending on the sorts of financial data you are analyzing, you can do a lot with SAS/BASE and SAS/STAT. We do lifetime cost models (individual level data) that way.
