Hello, I'm using the R package called mvpart, which is about the multivariate regression trees. The function I wrote is: mrt1<- mvpart(coefmat~sChip+sScreen+sMem,data=mixdata, xv="pick", plot.add=TRUE,uniform=TRUE,which=4,all=TRUE,xadj=2,yadj=2,rsq=TRUE,big.pts=TRUE,wgt.ave.pca=TRUE,legend=TRUE,bars=F, pca=TRUE) where "coefmat" is a matrix(of dimension N*K) to store

Dear R friends- I'm attempting to generate a regression tree with one gradient predictor and multiple responses, trying to test if change in size (turtle.data$Clength) acts as a single predictor of ten multiple diet taxa abundances (prey.data) Neither rpart or mvpart seem to allow me to do multiple responses. (Or if they can, I'm not using the functions properly.) > library(rpart)

Dear all, I'm getting an error in one of the stock examples in the 'mvpart' package. I tried: require(mvpart) data(spider) fit3 <- rpart(gdist(spider[,1:12],meth="bray",full=TRUE,sq=TRUE)~water+twigs+reft+herbs+moss+sand,spider,method="dist") #directly from ?rpart summary(fit3) ...which returned the following: Error in apply(formatg(yval, digits - 3), 1,

Dear all, I was wondering if there is a simple way to avoid printing the multiple cross-validation automatic output to the console of recursive partitionning functions like rpart or mvpart. For example... > data(spider) > mvpart(data.matrix(spider[,1:12])~herbs+reft+moss+sand+twigs+water,spider,xv="1se",xvmult=100) *X-Val rep : 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15

Hello all, When attempting a classification tree using mvpart, I get the following error: > thesis2.mvp=mvpart(bat_sp~., data=alltrees.df) Error in all(keep) : unused argument(s) (c(TRUE, TRUE, TRUE, TRUE, TRUE, TRUE, TRUE, TRUE, TRUE, TRUE, TRUE, TRUE, TRUE, TRUE, TRUE, TRUE, TRUE, TRUE, TRUE, TRUE, TRUE, TRUE, TRUE, TRUE, TRUE, TRUE, TRUE, TRUE, TRUE, TRUE, TRUE, TRUE, TRUE, TRUE, TRUE,

Dear R-list, I am using the rpart/mvpart-package for selecting a right-sized regression tree by 10-fold cross-validation. My question: Is there a possibility to find out for every observation in which of the ten folds it is lying? I want to use the same folds for validating another regression method (moving averages) in order to choose the better one. Thanks a lot, Pedro

Hi, I'd like to perform Dufrene-Legendre Indicator Species Analysis for a multivariate regression tree. However I have problems with arguments of duleg(veg,class,numitr=1000)function. How to obtain a vector of numeric class memberships for samples, or a classification object returned from mvpart? thanks in advance -- Best regards, Agnieszka Strzelczak

Dear R's I'm trying to use specific rather than random cross-validation groups in mvpart. The man page says: xval Number of cross-validations or vector defining cross-validation groups. And I found this reply to the list by Terry Therneau from 2006 The rpart function allows one to give the cross-validation groups explicitly. So if the number of observations was 10, you could use

Dear friends, I am sudying the mvpart package, that implements Multivariate Regression Trees, aiming at applying it to a biogeographical dataset of tree speces in southern South America. My doubt is how to access plot identities after the tree is produced. For us it is rather important, but I could not find them with neither 'summary(fit)'[where fit is the object containing the

Hi all, I am fairly new to R and I am trying to run mvpart and create a MRT using explanatory variables and covariables. I've been following the procedures in Numerical Ecoogy with R. The command (no covariables) which works fine - ABUNDTMRT <- mvpart(abundance ~ .,factors,margin=0.08,cp=0,xv="1se",xval=nrow(abundance),xvmult=100,which=4) where abundance is 4th root

Dear R community, I am analyzing plant communities with the function mvpart, using a dissimilarit matrix as input. The matrix is calculated with the funtion gdist. fit <- mvpart(gdist (ba12[,18:29], meth="maximum", full=TRUE, sq=F) ~ beers + slope_dem + elev_dem+ plc_dem + pr_curv+ +curv+max_depth+doc_rocks+ abandon+land_use+ca_old, data=ba12, xv="p") This

Hello everyone, I am currently using the mvpart package and would like to change the color scheme it uses, and was hoping someone could help me out. All of the papers I have found have used a grayscale but I can't seem to figure out how they did that! Currently, mvpart plots barplots in a repeating sequence of 3 shades of blue. So if you have 6 response variables the same shade of blue is used

Dear All, I would like to ask clarifications on the gower distnce matrix calculated by the function gdistin the library mvpart. Here is a dummy example: > library(mvpart) Loading required package: survival Loading required package: splines mvpart package loaded: extends rpart to include multivariate and distance-based partitioning > x=matrix(1:6, byrow=T, ncol=2) > x [,1]

I have created a multivariate regression tree using mvpart, with 3-4 responses. Though the plot shows bargraphs for each response, I would like to have the VALUES of the responses printed or indicated (via a scale or something) alongside the bargraph. Is this possible ??

I have a question relating to mvpart, which I hope you can answer. We recently conducted a study using TBR. In our first study, we used "regular" TBR in SPSS to model 1 dependent variable. Note we have a relatively small data-set of 100 cases. In SPSS, we used a minimum change of improvement smaller than 0.000001 as a stopping rule. Also, we chose the 1SE "rule", set the

My decision tree grows only with one split and based on what I see in E-Miner it should split on more variables. How can I adjust splitting criteria in R? Also is there way to indicate that some variables are binary, like variable Info_G is binary so in the results would be nice to see "2) Info_G=0" instead of "2) Info_G<0.5". Thank you in advance! And thanks for Eric who
