Instead of using a single splitpoint x ≤ t 0 we propose to consider a neighbourhood: T = { t − k = x − k , · · · , t 0 , · · · , t k = x k } , where t 0 is the candidate split and t k and t − k the k’th datapoints with higher and lower ordered covariate values as reasonable alternative splitting values.
