20.82 Conditional Regression Tree
We can also build a regression tree using (Hothorn et al. 2026).
##
## Model formula:
## risk_mm ~ rain_today + temp_3pm + temp_9am + cloud_3pm + cloud_9am +
## pressure_3pm + pressure_9am + humidity_3pm + humidity_9am +
## wind_speed_3pm + wind_speed_9am + wind_dir_3pm + wind_dir_9am +
## wind_gust_speed + wind_gust_dir + sunshine + evaporation +
## rainfall + max_temp + min_temp
##
## Fitted party:
## [1] root
