Everyone, I've got code in my package that uses LogitBoost from the caTools package. caTools does not have a namespace. My package also uses loads RWeka, which has a namespace, and also has a function called LogitBoost. After loading both packages, how can I be specific about running the version from caTools (since caTools:::LogitBoost won't work)?...

Hello, does any one know how to interpret this output in R? > Classification with logitboost > fit <- logitboost(xlearn, ylearn, xtest, presel=50, mfinal=20) > summarize(fit, ytest) Minimal mcr: 0 achieved after 6 boosting step(s) Fixed mcr: 0 achieved after 20 boosting step(s) What is "mcr" mean? Thanks [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

When I sink the output of an RWeka model to a text file, the output file appears empty: library(RWeka) model = LogitBoost(Species~.,data=iris) print(model) sink("output.txt") print(model) #file output.txt is created, but it is blank sink() Am I doing anything wrong?

I'm going to implement AdaBoost algorithm in R. Just wanted to ensure that there is no implementation of any boosting algorithm in R... don't want to reinvent the wheel... -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-devel mailing list -- Read http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~hornik/R/R-FAQ.html Send "info", "help", or

Hi, I am trying to implement the Adaboost.M1. algorithm as described in "The Elements of Statistical Learning" p.301 I don't use Dtettling 's library "boost" because : - I don't understande the difference beetween Logitboost and L2boost - I 'd like to use larger trees than stumps. By using option weights set to (1/n, 1/n, ..., 1/n) in rpart or tree function, the tree obtained is trivial (just root, no split) whereas without weight or for each weight >1,trees are just fine. So here is my question : how are we...

...require a test set when model building. (7) Control all written output during model-building time with a verbose option. Resampling can make a mess out of things if output/logging is always exposed. (8) Please use RSiteSearch to avoid name collisions between packages (eg. gam(), splsda(), roc(), LogitBoost()). Also search Bioconductor. (9) Allow the predict function to generate results from many different sub-models simultaneously. For example, pls() can return predictions across many values of ncomp. enet(), cubist(), blackboost() are other examples. corollary (9a): [OCD] ensure the same object ty...

Hello, I was wondering what would be the easiest way to append weights to a dataset in RWeka. Ideally, I'd like to have something like: m <- LogitBoost(Species ~ ., data=iris, weights = myweights) But that, as far as I understand, it is not implemented and I'd need to use a workaround. I know that when programming Weka in Java it is possible to assign weights to instances using the setWeight, but I don't know exactly what would be the...
