{gardenr}: An R Package for Working with Model-Based
Recursive Partitioning. k-fold cross-validation of the multilevel
extension of model-based recursive partitioning (i.e., general linear
mixed-effects regression trees)
These three packages were developed by Daniel Anderson, PhD; I
documented and extended their functionality, and I currently maintain
these. Their function is for internal use at BRT. They pull from the
Oregon Extended Assessment’s database ({orextdb}), then
process the data to be analyzed ({dbprocess}), before
analyzing the data with Item Response Theory Models
({exirt}).
