OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
We consider a regression model where the coefficients vary across unknown groups. The groups are determined by an unknown partition of the covariate space, and the elements of the partition are in the form of unions of contiguous axis-aligned hyperrectangles. Such a structure allows us to develop a new estimation procedure based on the regression tree algorithm that consistently recovers the unknown group structure and the group-specific coefficients. Moreover, if the number of groups is small, the procedure has the oracle property.
