E_alpha: Expected value of the number of bottom nodes in the...

Description

Expected value of the number of bottom nodes in the unrealistic case where we assume that the number of variables and possible splits are infinite (therefore P(T) is not dependent on the design matrix X) and β=0 (Case #1).

Usage

 1 E_alpha(alpha) 

Arguments

 alpha base parameter of the tree prior, alpha \in [0,1).

Value

Returns the expected value of the number of bottom nodes.
