similar to: how to visualize gini coefficient in each node in RF?

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 would like to run random Forest classification algorithm and check the accuracy of the prediction according to different training and testing schemes. For example, extracting 70% of the samples for training and the rest for testing, or using 10-fold cross validation scheme. How can I do that? Is there a function? Thanks a lot, Chrysanthi.

If I use the Ineq library and the Gini function in this way: >Gini(c(100,0,0,0)) I obtain the result 0.75 instead of 1 (that is the perfect inequality). I think Gini's formula in Ineq is based on a formula as reported here: http://mathworld.wolfram.com/GiniCoefficient.html but in the case of perfect inequality: x_1=.......=x_n-1 =0 x_n>0 these formula are equal to 1 - 1/n, not to

Hello, I would like to build a Lorenz curve and calculate a Gini coefficient in order to find how much parasites does the top 20% most infected hosts support. Here is my data set: Number of parasites per host: parasites = c(0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10) Number of hosts associated with each number of parasites given above: hosts = c(18,20,28,19,16,10,3,1,0,0,0) To represent the Lorenz curve: I

Dear List, I am unsure if this is specifically a R question or a stats question? I thought i would ask here and if i get no replies it will answer that! I am trying to calculate Gini coefficients in R, based on a slight modification of the typical equation that i have seen in a paper. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Hi All, In the script below, the importance measure for column 4 (ie MeanDecreaseGini) indicated "Inf" for V7. Running the getTree command showed that "V7" had been selected at least twice in one of the trees for Random Forest. So the "Inf" command was not generated as a result of dividing the sum of the decreases by 0. Any suggestions on what may be causing the

Hi listers, Does it necessary to install any package in order to use the GINI or INEQ functions. If I use the following command the R tells me that didn't find the GINI function. x<-c(541, 1463, 2445, 3438, 4437, 5401, 6392, 8304, 11904, 22261) G<-gini(x) Thanks in advance, Marcio -- View this message in context:

Hi there, I am trying to compute Gini coefficients for vectors containing income classes. The data I possess look loke this: yit <- c(135, 164, 234, 369) piit <- c(367, 884, 341, 74 ) where yit is the vector of income classes, and fit is the vector of associated frequencies.(This data is from Rustichini, Ichino and Checci (Journal of Public Economics, 1999) ). In ineq pacakge, Gini( )

Hello, Thank you very much for your help. How can I draw a Lorenz curve with several replications ? Here is an example with 4 replications: hosts=c(23,31,19,10,7,7,3, 39,40,8,3,6,2,2, 47,17,8,10,6,11,1, 30,30,10,0,15,15,0) parasites=rep(seq(from=0,to=6,by=1),4) replications=c(rep(1,7),rep(2,7),rep(3,7),rep(4,7)) test <- cbind(parasites,hosts,replications) Should I

I'm working with the randomForest package and have successfully build a model. I'd like to go one step further however, and use the output from the model to construct a map using the output. My input data are spatial, and I have an independent set of rasterize maps for each of the predictor variables, to map the classification solution. Using the getTree function: >

Hola, paso el mini programita q estoy viendo, lo q me llama la atencion es una parte donde se definen las funciones. Probe primero meter adentro del boots la estadistica a estimar usando directamente gini(varible, pesos) pero no me dejo. Vi q en el ej del manual de boots, siempre define antes la funcion, entonces probe definir antes una funcion haciendo grini<-function(x) {gini(variable,

Hey there, I was wondering if someone could tell me if there's a package or command that allows me to compute a GINI coefficient using a vector of weights. Also the coefficient should be bias corrected. Diego Rojas [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

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 All, I have developed a programme the anable the decomposition of the Gini index, it complets tha valuable work of Achim Zeileis, the author of the ineq package. I would like to make it to be part of all R package. How should I proceed. Must I sent it to the the Core developement team ? The proogramme is written in R. Many thanks for your advice, Best regards, Souleymane

Dear R users, I've just released a new version of randomForest (available on CRAN now). This version contained quite a number of new features and bug fixes, compared to version prior to 4.0-x (and few more since 4.0-1). For those not familiar with randomForest, it's an ensemble classifier/regression tool. Please see http://www.math.usu.edu/~adele/forests/ for more detailed information,

Hi, I would like to visualize a tree extracted from a random forest using getTree {randomForest}. I'm wondering if there is any way to do it directly or to convert my tree to any other class of tree repesentation, which then can be plotted?
