Ski injury research is traditionally studied on small-scale observational studies where risk factors from univariate and multivariate statistical models are extracted. In this article, a large-scale ski injury observational study was conducted by analyzing skier transportation data from six consecutive seasons. Logistic regression and chi-square automatic interaction detection decision tree models for ski injury predictions are proposed. While logistic regression assumes a linearly weighted dependency between the predictors and the response variable, chi-square automatic interaction detection assumes a non-linear and hierarchical dependency. Logistic regression also assumes a monotonic relationship between each predictor variable and the response variable, while chi-square automatic interaction detection does not require such an assumption. In this research, the chi-square automatic interaction detection decision …
