similar to: Rpart - user defined split functions

Dear R-users, I'm working with the Rpart package and trying to understand how the procedure select the best split in the case the method "class" and the splitting index "Gini" are used. In particular I'd like to have look to the source code that works out the best split for un unordered predictor. Does anyone can suggest me which functions in the sources I should

Dear R users, I know cross-validation does not work in rpart with user defined split functions. As Terry Therneau suggested, one can use the xpred.rpart function and then summarize the matrix of the predicted values into a single "goodness" value. I need only a confirmation: set for example xval=10, if I correctly understood a single column of the matrix obatined by xpred.rpart gives

Dear R users, I'm using the rpart package to build classification trees. I'm interested in implementing the ordered Twoing as a splitting criterion. Does anyone have experience with this task ?

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 all, I'm trying to manage with user defined split function in rpart (file rpart\tests\usersplits.R in http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/rpart_3.1-34.tar.gz - see bottom of the email). Suppose to have the following data.frame (note that x's values are already sorted) > D y x 1 7 0.428 2 3 0.876 3 1 1.467 4 6 1.492 5 3 1.703 6 4 2.406 7 8 2.628 8 6 2.879 9 5 3.025 10 3 3.494

Dear Gregory R. Warnes, I'm a phd student in statistics, at the University of Milano Bicocca. I'm interested to the methods of estimate the parameters of the Dirichlet distribution. Do you have implemented an algorithm in R? If so, can you give me the script? or, in general, some helps?

Dear all, I would like to ask information about the package mvtnorm in R. It is very useful for me the "qmvnorm" comand, but I see that it can compute only quantile for equicoordinate. Is it possible to have a curve (or a set of values) if we don't want equicoordinates? Thank you Best regards Antonio. -- Antonio Lucadamo, Dipartimento di Scienze Economiche e Metodi Quantitativi

Dear all, I'm using the ellipse package and I would like to verify if the confidence region that I build with this package can be equivalent to an Union Intersection Test. I used different value for the t-statistic but I can not find the right equivalence. Does someone know how to choose the right value? Thanks a lot.

Hi, I would like to know if it is possible to have a "R code" to estimate the parameters of a mixture of bivariate (or multivariate) normals via EM Algorithm. I tried to write it, but in the estimation of the matrix of variance and covariance, i have some problems. I generate two bidimensional vectors both from different distribution with their own vector means and variance and

Hi R-users,I'm trying to solve a non linear equation, to find the degrees of freedom of a mixture of t student. I'm sure i wrote the minimization equation in the right way, but when i try to run the EM algorithm to estimate the parameters of the mixture, the following error will appear: Error in uniroot(function(z) log(z/2) - digamma(z/2) + 1 - log((z + d)/2) + : f() values at end

Dear R-listers, I would like to carry out a very basic descriptive analysis of homicides rates in Italy, taking into account both the spatial dimension (103 provinces) and the temporal dimension (10 years), but no covariates. In practice, what I would like to do is to describe spatio-temporal variation of homicide rates, identifying those combinations of province-year where the homicide rate

Hi, i would to know, if someone have ever write the code to estimate the parameter (mixing proportion, mean, a var/cov matrix) of a mixture of two multivariate normal distribution. I wrote it and it works (it could find mean and mixing proportion, if I fix the var/cov matrix), while if I fix anything, it doesn't work. My suspect is that when the algorithm iterates the var/cov matrix, something

Hello anyone, I'm trying to install R on Mandriva 2006 distribution via rpm file with the line urpmi R-2.0.0-1mdk.i586.rpm but I got an error message saying that the file is not accessible due to some info problem. I also tried with a source code in R-2.1.1.tar but I think that there is some problem concerning the new version of gcc (4.x), so I downgraded it to gcc 3.4.5 but it does
