Review and practical excursus on the comparison between traditional statics methods and Classification And Regression Tree (CART) in real-life data: Low protein diet compared to Me... by Vincenzo Calabrese, Daniela Metro, Angela Alibrandi, Domenico Maviglia, Valeria Cernaro, Veronica Maressa, Elisa Longhitano, Guido Gembillo, Domenico Santoro

“…In this review, we compared CART to traditional statistics in patients who did not attempt a diet to patients who followed a low-protein diet (LPD) or the Mediterranean diet in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients, and we analyzed them using linear regression and CART methods. In our example, diet adherence proved to be the factor with the greatest impact on renal function decline, but CART failed to detect significant differences between LPD and Mediterranean diet. …”
