Piecewise-linear criterion functions in oblique survival tree induction

Conclusions The predictive ability of trees generated using piecewise-linear criterion functions is comparable to that of univariate tree-based models. Although a similar conclusion may be drawn from the analysis of the tree size, in the majority of the studied cases, the number of nodes of the dipolar tree is one of the smallest among all the methods.
