Popis: Regression trees have been used to identify groups of patients which consume a similar amount of resources. As classification criteria the main diagnosis, additional diagnosis, expensive medical intervention and some other factors have been used. To find statistically robust solutions different parametric and nonparametric methods have been examined. A comparison of the old subsidies with the ones based on the new system has been performed.
