Classification and regression trees (CART) offer a valuable statistical method for various academic research areas. This book addresses the scarcity of resources on applied CART, providing insights and guidance for researchers looking to implement this powerful technique in their work.
The authors first present a national scene of Quality Rating Improvement System (QRIS) and then use Children's Services Council of Palm Beach County as a case study. The book is useful for policy makers, administrators of early and education at various levels, researchers, and others who seek to improve early care and education.
