Decision tree analysis

[Sumon Khan]

Hi everyone,
I want to perform decision tree analysis by using DHS data. I planned to find out the most important determinants of overweight. But i am new user to stata and don't know the necessary comment to perform this analysis.
Can anyone please help me to complete this? It would be better if anyone help me to give full comment.

With kind regards
Sumon

Regression trees are not well supported in Stata to the best of my knowledge.

Sumon,

Whereas it is not based on the CaRT algorithm, a decision tree structure can be obtained by the chaid (SSC) command.

Take a look at its help file and see if it fits your analytic goals.
