In one aspect, a statistical analysis group assignment may be received. The statistical analysis group assignment may group partition-level worker node and a first set of partition-level worker nodes as a statistical analysis group. A statistical analysis phase may then be executed where a group-level decision tree is generated from statistical data and other statistical data received from the first set of partition-level worker nodes. A decision tree analysis phase may then be executed, where a step decision tree may be generated based on a selection from the group-level tree and other group-level trees received from other statistical analysis groups. The prediction model may be caused to be updated using the step decision tree.
