Dear R-users, I am trying to modify the mfp() function in the mfp package to model Weibull survival using fractional polynomials approach. However, I keep getting into trouble when mfp.fit and other "hidden" functions can't be found. I did find some of them in Splus but it's getting nowhere. I wonder if any of you can give me some tips on how to modify it or any experience

The version of R on our unix system has been updated to version 2.5.0. When I type the following command at the unix prompt: 'R CMD BATCH filename' I receive the following error message: Error in Sys.unsetenv("R_BATCH") : 'Sys.unsetenv' is not available on this system Execution halted. 'R CMD BATCH filename' used to work with the prior version of R that I

I am using the 'glmmPQL function in the 'MASS' library to fit a mixed effects logistic regression model to simulated data. I am conducting a series of simulations, and with certain simulated datasets, estimation of the random effects logistic regression model unexpectedly terminates. I receive the following error message from R: Error in lme.formula(fixed=zz + arm.long,random=~1 |

Dear R-helpers, I'm working on mass spectra in randomForest/R, and following the recommendations for the case of noisy variables, I don't want to use the default mtry (sqrt of nvariables), but I'm not sure up to which proportion mtry/nvariables it makes sense to increase mtry without "overtuning" RF. Let me tell my example: I have 106 spectra belonging to 4 classes, the

I have been using random forest on a data set with 226 sites and 36 explanatory variables (continuous and categorical). When I use "tune.randomforest" to determine the best value to use in "mtry" there is a fairly consistent and steady decrease in MSE, with the optimum of "mtry" usually equal to 1. Why would that occur, and what does it signify? What I would

Full_Name: Ivan the Terrible Version: 2.9.2 OS: Windows XP SP3 Submission from: (NULL) (89.110.13.151) When using the method blackboost_fit of the package mboost appear following error : Error in party:::get_variables(obj at responses) : trying to get slot "responses" from an object (class "boost_data") that is not an S4 object Simple test case that produce bug:

After ctree builds a tree, how would I determine the direction missing values follow by examining the BinaryTree-class object? For instance in the example below Bare.nuclei has 16 missing values and is used for the first split, but the missing values are not listed in either set of factors. (I have the same question for missing values among numeric [non-factor] values, but I assume the answer

I'm trying to understand how to set graphical parameters for trees created with the party package.  For example take the following code:   library(party)     data(airquality)     airq <- subset(airquality, !is.na(Ozone))     airct <- ctree(Ozone ~ ., data = airq,                    controls = ctree_control(maxsurrogate = 3))     plot(airct)   My problem is, I've got a ctree that has

Hello. I have used the "party" package to generate a regression tree as follows: >origdata<-read.csv("origdata.csv") >ctrl<-ctree_control(mincriterion=0.99,maxdepth=10,minbucket=10) >test.ct<-ctree(Y~X1+X2+X3,data=origdata,control=ctrl) The above works fine. Orig data was my training data. I now have a test data file (testdata), and

Hi, I am new to R and am using the ctree() function to do customer segmentation. I am using the following code to generate the tree: treedata$Response<-factor(treedata$Conversion) fit<-ctree(Response ~ .,controls=ctree_control(mincriterion=0.99,maxdepth=4),data=treedata) plot(fit) print(fit) The variable "Response" above equals 1 if the customer responded to an offering and

Hello, I'm trying to find out the optimal number of splits (mtry parameter) for a randomForest classification. The classification is binary and there are 32 explanatory variables (mostly factors with each up to 4 levels but also some numeric variables) and 575 cases. I've seen that although there are only 32 explanatory variables the best classification performance is reached when

Dear Researches, I am using RF (in regression way) for analize several metrics extract from image. I am tuning RF setting a loop using different range of mtry, tree and nodesize using the lower value of MSE-OOB mtry from 1 to 5 nodesize from1 to 10 tree from 1 to 500 using this paper as refery Palmer, D. S., O'Boyle, N. M., Glen, R. C., & Mitchell, J. B. O. (2007). Random Forest Models

Just curious if anyone else has got this error before, and if so, would know what I could do (if anything) to get past it: > mtry <- tuneRF(training, trainingdata$class, ntreeTry = 500, stepFactor = 2, improve = 0.05, trace = TRUE, plot = TRUE, doBest = FALSE) mtry = 13 OOB error = 0.62% Searching left ... mtry = 7 OOB error = 1.38% -1.222222 0.05 Searching right ... mtry = 26

Dear all, Does anybody can explain this: different results got when all the same parameters are used in the errorest() in library ipred, as the following? errorest(Species ~ ., data=iris, model=randomForest, estimator = "cv", est.para=control.errorest(k=3), mtry=2)$err [1] 0.03333333 > errorest(Species ~ ., data=iris, model=randomForest, estimator = "cv",

mboost contains a blackboost method to build tree-based boosting models. I tried to write my own "cost-sensitive" ada family. But obviously my understanding to implement ngradient, loss, and offset functions is not right. I would greatly appreciate if anyone can help me out, or show me how to write a cost-sensitive family, thanks! Follows are some families I wrote ngradient <-

Greetings. I'm trying to determine whether to use rpart or randomForest for a classification tree. Has anybody tested efficacy formally? I've run both and the confusion matrix for rf beats rpart. I've looking at the rf help page and am unable to figure out how to extract the tree. But more than that I'm looking for a more comprehensive user's guide for randomForest including

Hi, I would like to use a random Forest model to get an idea about which variables from a dataset may have some prognostic significance in a smallish study. The default for the number of trees seems to be 500. I tried changing the default to ntree=2000 or ntree=200 and the results appear identical. Have changed mtry from mtry=5 to mtry=6 successfully. Have seen same problem on both a Windows

Dear All, For a data mining project, I am relying heavily on the RandomForest and Party packages. Due to the large size of the data set, I have often memory problems (in particular with the Party package; RandomForest seems to use less memory). I really have two questions at this point 1) Please see how I am using the Party and RandomForest packages. Any comment is welcome and useful.

Hello, I am learning caret package, and I want to use the RFE to reduce the feature. I want to use RFE coupled Random Forest (RFE+FR) to complete this task. As we know, there are a number of pre-defined sets of functions, like random Forest(rfFuncs), however,I want to tune the parameters (mtr) when RFE, and then I write code below, but there is something wrong message, How can I deal with it?

Hello R Gurus, I am perplexed by the different results I obtained when I ran code like this: set.seed(100) test1<-randomForest(BinaryY~., data=Xvars, trees=51, mtry=5, seed=200) predict(test1, newdata=cbind(NewBinaryY, NewXs), type="response") and this code: set.seed(100) test2<-randomForest(BinaryY~., data=Xvars, trees=51, mtry=5, seed=200, xtest=NewXs, ytest=NewBinarY) The
