CART Monograph The definitive monograph on the theoretical underpinnings of CART by none other than CART's originators, Breiman, Friedman, Olshen and Stone. Their landmark work created the modern field of sophisticated, mathematically- and theoretically-founded decision trees. A must read for those interested in learning about the statistical and technical details. Three mathematical chapters provide proofs showing what happens in increasingly large data sets; the answer is: CART trees converge to the true structure of the data or yield the true conditional probabilities of classification variables.
