Hello, I am a phd student in Bioinformatics and I am using the Random Forest package in order to classify my data, but I have some questions. Is there a function in order to visualize the trees, so as to get the rules? Also, could you please provide me with the code of "randomForest" function, as I would like to see how it works. I was wondering if I can get the classification having

Hi, I am analysing gene expression data using the heatmap.2 function in R and I was wondering what is the formula of the "raw z-score" bar which shows the colors for each pixel. According to that post: https://mailman.stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2006-September/113598.html, it is the (actual value - mean of the group) / standard deviation. But, mean of which group? Mean of the gene

Dear all, I am working with randomForest package and I am interested in examining the "Gini importance" measures that are used as a general indicator of feature relevance. Is there a possibility of getting the Gini measure that is being estimated in each tree by the output of the getTree() function? Thanks a lot, Chrysanthi [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

now I am learining random forest and using random forest package, I can get the OOB error rates, and test set rate, now I want to get the training set error rate, how can I do? pgp.rf<-randomForest(x.tr,y.tr,x.ts,y.ts,ntree=1e3,keep.forest=FALSE,do.trace=1e2) using the code can get oob and test set error rate, if I replace x.ts and y.ts with x.tr and y.tr,respectively, is the error rate

Dear all, I want to work with R in an optimization problem and I was wondering if there are any available solvers. I found RCplex package but downloading it, I get problems. Why? Is it not free? are there any other solvers available? many thanks! -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Cplex-solver-and-optimization-in-R-tp3703385p3703385.html Sent from the R help

Hi this is my first post. I am trying to run a simulation for a computer playing Von Neumann poker and adjusting it's expectation of an opponent's behavior according to how the opponent plays. This program involves random generation of "hands" and shifting of parameters. However, when I run the code, no errors come up, but the program doesn't do anything. Could someone

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 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 R users, I'm working with the rpart package and want to evaluate the performance of user defined split functions. I have some problems in understanding the meaning of the xval argument in the two functions rpart.control and xpred.rpart. In the former it is defined as the number of cross-validations while in the latter it is defined as the number of cross-validation groups. If I am

Dear R community, I've been writing simple functions for the past year and half and have come across a similar problem several times. The execution of a function within my own function produces NaN's or fails to execute as intended. My conundrum is that I can execute the function outside of my function without error, so it's difficult for me, as a novice functioneer, to figure out

Thanks for the tip using a smoothing technique before plotiing in order to get a curve instead of a line connecting the observations. But that's not the solution for my main problem with the "unclean" line plot. In order to show my problem let's take this simple example: > xval <- c(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8) > yval <- c(10, 30, 40, 50, 70, 90, 100, 110) > plot

Depending on the setting of par()$usr, the 'at' setting in mtext(.., adj=0, outer=T) may cause the text to appear in an anomalous position (e. g. in the first instance below, at the left of the plot region rather than at 'at=0' in the figure region), or the text may not appear at all. If one does not set the 'at' parameter the text appears (with 'adj=0') on the

All, I'm trying again with a slightly more generic version of my first question. I can extract the plotted values from hist(), boxplot(), and even plot.randomForest(). Observe: # get some data dat <- rnorm(100) # grab histogram data hdat <- hist(dat) hdat #provides details of the hist output #grab boxplot data bdat <- boxplot(dat) bdat #provides details of the boxplot

I use ROCR to plot multiple runs' performance. Using the sample code as example: # plot ROC curves for several cross-validation runs (dotted # in grey), overlaid by the vertical average curve and boxplots # showing the vertical spread around the average. data(ROCR.xval) pred <- prediction(ROCR.xval$predictions, ROCR.xval$labels) perf <- performance(pred,"tpr","fpr")

Hello again I'm trying to put error bars onto a barplot. I've tried something that Bill Simpson suggested a while ago, ie: x<-c(1,2,3,4,5) y<-c(1.1, 2.3, 3.0, 3.9, 5.1) ucl<-c(1.3, 2.4, 3.5, 4.1, 5.3) lcl<-c(.9, 1.8, 2.7, 3.8, 5.0) plot(x,y, ylim=range(c(lcl,ucl))) arrows(x,ucl,x,lcl,length=.05,angle=90,code=3) #or segments(x,ucl,x,lcl) but I can't get it to work on a

Hello, I am in the process of writing a Perl program to carry out and analyze large numbers of regressions using R as the regression engine, and I am using Statistics::R to create the communication bridge between the two programs. Statistics::R creates a pipe between R and Perl and uses Rterm.exe (hidden during run-time) to carry out the R commands. This communication bridge works well for

Hi All, I have to say upfront that I am a complete neophyte when it comes to programming. Nevertheless I enjoy the challenge of using R because of its incredible statistical resources. My problem is this .........I am running a regression tree analysis using "rpart" and I need to run the calculation repeatedly (say n=50 times) to obtain a distribution of results from which I will pick

I am trying to find out what type of sampling scheme is used to select the 10 subsets in 10-fold cross-validation process used in rpart to choose the best tree. Is it simple random sampling? Is there any documentation available on this?

Hi, I'm using nnet to work on a 2 class classification problem. The result of my code is data.frame of true class, predicted class and associated probability. One way of summarizing the data is by a confusion matrix. However are there any graphical ways I could represent the data - specifically, I'd like to show the probabilities associated with each member of my prediction set? (I
