Generalised linear model trees with global additive effects
Model-based trees are used to find subgroups in data which differ with respect to model parameters. In some applications it is natural to keep some parameters fixed globally for all observations while asking i...

Boosting techniques for nonlinear time series models
Many of the popular nonlinear time series models require a priori the choice of parametric functions which are assumed to be appropriate in specific applications. This approach is mainly used in financial applica...

Glaucoma Diagnosis by Indirect Classifiers
Medical decision making is based on various diagnostic measurements and the evaluation of anamnestic information. For example glaucoma diagnosis is based on several direct and indirect assessments of the eye. ...

Exact Nonparametric Inference in R
For many of the classical tests, including the Wilcoxon signed rank and rank sum and the Ansari-Bradley tests, exact unconditional distributions of the test statistics can be obtained using recursion formulae ...

Bagging Tree Classifiers for Glaucoma Diagnosis
The aggregation of multiple unstable classifiers leads to substantial reduction of misclassification error in many applications and bench mark problems. We focus on the problem of classifying eyes as normal or...

Bagging Combined Classifiers
Aggregated classifiers have proven to be successful in reducing misclassification error in a wide range of classification problems. One of the most popular is bagging. But often simple procedures perform comp...

StatDataML: An XML Format for Statistical Data
In order to circumvent common difficulties in exchanging statistical data between heterogeneous applications (format incompatibilities, technocentric data representation), we introduce an XML-based markup lang...
