Oblique decision trees for spatial pattern detection: optimal algorithm and application to malaria risk

Jean Gaudart, Belco Poudiougou, Stéphane Ranque, Ogobara Doumbo BMC Medical Research Methodology 2005, 5:22 (18 July 2005)

Use of an oblique decision tree, enabling spatial analysis of disease clusters without pre-specifiying windows, should improve local cluster detection and allow more effective use of preventative measures.
