Good afternoon Has anyone tried using Dr. Elith's BRT script? I cannot seem to run gbm.step from the installed gbm package. Is it something external to gbm? When I run the script itself <- gbm.step(data=model.data, gbm.x = colx:coly, gbm.y = colz, family = "bernoulli", tree.complexity = 5, learning.rate = 0.01, bag.fraction = 0.5)...

Dear gbm users, When running predict.gbm() on a "large" dataset (150,000 rows, 300 columns, 500 trees), I notice that the memory used by R grows beyond reasonable limits. My 14GB of RAM are often not sufficient. I am interpreting this as a memory leak since there should be no reason to expand memo...

Dear all, the help file for predict.gbm states that "The predictions from gbm do not include the offset term. The user may add the value of the offset to the predicted value if desired." I am just not sure how exactly, especially for a Poisson model, where I believe the offset is multiplicative ? For example: library(MASS)...

I am trying to call a C++ k-means function within R and I am struggling. I know that the below code is used to call a C++ function for gbm but how do I do it for k-means? gbm.obj <- .Call("gbm", Y=as.double(y), Offset=as.double(offset), X=as.double(x), X.order=as.integer(x.order), weights=as.double(w),...

HI, Dear Greg, I AM A NEW to GBM package. Can boosting decision tree be implemented in 'gbm' package? Or 'gbm' can only be used for regression? IF can, DO I need to combine the rpart and gbm command? Thanks so much! -- Sincerely, Changbin -- [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi, I have a geforce 4mx 440 agp 8x, and I'm trying to use the GBM library, (as jbarnes in: http://virtuousgeek.org/blog/index.php/jbarnes/2011/10/ and David Hermann in KMSCON: https://github.com/dvdhrm/kmscon), without success. when I try to create a gbm_device, I get: (below the code.) nouveau_drm_screen_create: unknown chipset nv18 dri_init_screen_helper: fai...

I recently use gbm for a binary classification problem. As expected, it gets very good results, based on Area under ROC with 7-fold cross validation. However, the application (malware detection) is cost-sensitive, getting a FP (classify a clean sample as a dirty one) is much worse than getting a FN (miss a dirty samp...

Hi, there: I am wondering if I can find some detailed explanation on gbm or explanation on examples of gbm. thanks, Ed

Hi, I am having problems passing arguments to method="gbm" using the train() function. I would like to train gbm using the laplace distribution or the quantile distribution. here is the code I used and the error: gbm.test <- train(x.enet, y.matrix[,7], method="gbm", distribution=list(name="quantile",alpha=0.5), verbo...

Dear All, I am far from being a guru about parallel programming. Most of the time, I rely or randomForest for data mining large datasets. I would like to give a try also to the gradient boosted methods in GBM, but I have a need for parallelization. I normally rely on gbm.fit for speed reasons, and I usually call it this way gbm_model <- gbm.fit(trainRF,prices_train, offset = NULL, misc = NULL, distribution = "multinomial", w = NULL, var.monotone = NULL, n.trees = 50, interaction.dept...

Hola de nuevo. Se me olvidaba la principal razón para utilizar gbm.step del paquete dismo. Como sabéis, los boosted si sobreajustan (a diferencia de los random forest o cualquier otro bootstrap) pero gbm.step hace validación cruzada para determinar el nº óptimo de árboles y evitarlo. Es fundamental. La opción que me queda, Carlos, es hacerlo con gbm, pero...

...area grey with polygon() (with a red border) and then I want to have the dashed red border in the legend as well. How do I manage it? And I want to mix (latex) expressions with text in my legend.

I'm attempting to fit boosted regression trees to a censored response using IPCW weighting. I've implemented this through two libraries, mboost and gbm, which I believe should yield models that would perform comparably. This, however, is not the case - mboost performs much better. This seems odd. This issue is meaningful since the output of this regression needs to be implemented in a production system, and mboost doesn't even expose the en...

Hi R User, I was trying to find a final model in the following example by using the Boosted regression trees (GBM). The program gives the fitted values but I wanted to calculate the fitted value by hand to understand in depth. Would you give moe some hints on what is the final model for this example? Thanks KG ------- The following script I used #----------------------- library(dismo) data(Anguilla_train...

Hi, there: I am always experiencing the scalability of some R packages. This time, I am trying gbm to do adaboosting on my project. Initially I tried to grow trees by using rpart on a dataset with 200 variables and 30,000 observations. Now, I am thinking if I can apply adaboosting on it. I am wondering if here is anyone who did a similar thing before and can provide some sample codes. Also any...

 Hello   I have questions about gbm package.  It seems we have to devide data to two part (training set and test set) for first.   1- trainig set for running of gbm function 2- test set for gbm.perf      is it rigth? I have 123 sample that I devided 100 for trainig and 23 for test.   So, parameter of cv.folds in gbm function is for...

...minimizing absolute loss), pero me da este error: Error in while (delta.deviance > tolerance.test & n.fitted < max.trees) { : missing value where TRUE/FALSE needed Supongo que loss se refiere a la función de pérdida, y como habla de deviance (la función de pérdida por defecto en gbm) pienso que también es para variable respuesta numérica, aunque no lo encontré por ningún lado. Por eso pregunté. Probaré sin indicar la family, a ver si funciona. Gracias, Manuel Quoting Carlos Ortega <cof en qualityexcellence.es>: > Hola, > > No hay ninguna limitación en la...

Dear List, The gbm package on Win 7 produces different results for the relative importance of input variables in R 32-bit relative to R 64-bit. Any idea why? Any idea which one is correct? Based on this example, it looks like the relative importance of 2 perfectly correlated predictors is "diluted" by half...

I'm running R 2.11.1 on 64 bit Debian.
