Hi, Being a novice this is my first usage of R. I am trying to use rpart for building a decision tree in R. And I have the following dataframe Outlook Temp Humidity Windy Class Sunny 75 70 Yes Play Sunny 80 90 Yes Don't Play Sunny 85 85 No Don't Play Sunny 72 95 No Don't Play Sunny 69 70 No Play Overcast 72 90 Yes Play Overcast 83 78 No Play Overcast 64 65 Yes Play Overcast 81 75

Hi, erveryone, I show much thanks to Andy and Matthew on former questions. I now sample only a small segment of a image can segment the image into several classes by RandomForest successfully. Now I have some confusion on it: 1. What is the internal component classifier in RandomForest? Are they the CART implemented in the rpart package? 2. I use training samples to predict new samples. But

Dear useRs: I try to plot an rpart object but cannot get a nice tree structure plot. I am using plot.rpart and text.rpart (please see below) but the branches that connect the nodes overlap the text in the ellipses and rectangles. Is there a way to get a clean nice tree plot (as in the Rpart Mayo report)? I work under Windows and use R2.11.1 with rpart version 3.1-46. Thank you. Tudor ...

I am trying to make a decision tree using rpart. The function runs very quickly considering the size of the data (1742, 163). When I call the summary command I get this: > summary(bookings.cart) Call: rpart(formula = totalRev ~ ., data = bookings, method = "class") n=1741 (1 observation deleted due to missingness) CP nsplit rel error 1 0 0 1 Error in yval[, 1] :

Hello all, When building a CART model (specifically classification tree) using rpart, it is sometimes interesting to know what is the importance of the various variables introduced to the model. Thus, my question is: *What common measures exists for ranking/measuring variable importance of participating variables in a CART model? And how can this be computed using R (for example, when using the

I've been using the package rpart with R 1.3.0 for Windows to produce simple classification trees for some measurement data from paleontological specimens. Both the rpart documentation and the output confirm that the program produces splits on continuous data that leave "holes" in the data. It is probably of little practical importance, but is there a reason why the binary

Greetings, I am using rpart for classification with "class" method. The test data is the Indian diabetes data from package mlbench. I fitted a classification tree firstly using the original data, and then exchanged the order of Body mass and Plasma glucose which are the strongest/important variables in the growing phase. The second tree is a little different from the first one. The

Greetings, I checked the Indian diabetes data again and get one tree for the data with reordered columns and another tree for the original data. I compared these two trees, the split points for these two trees are exactly the same but the fitted classes are not the same for some cases. And the misclassification errors are different too. I know how CART deal with ties --- even we are using the

Hello everyone, I'm a newbie to R and to CART so I hope my questions don't seem too stupid. 1.) My first question concerns the rpart() method. Which method does rpart use in order to get the best split - entropy impurity, Bayes error (min. error) or Gini index? Is there a way to make it use the entropy impurity? The second and third question concern the output of the printcp() function.

I run the following code: library(rpart) data(kyphosis) fit <- rpart(Kyphosis ~ ., data=kyphosis) plot(fit) text(fit, use.n=TRUE) The text labels represent the count of each class at the leaf node. Unfortunately, the numbers are rounded and in scientific notation rather than the exact number of examples sorted by that node in each class. The plot is supposed to look like

I ran this code (several times) from the Quick-R web page ( http://www.statmethods.net/advstats/cart.html) but my cross-validation errors increase instead of decrease (same thing happens with an unrelated data set). Why does this happen? Am I doing something wrong? # Classification Tree with rpart library(rpart) # grow tree fit <- rpart(Kyphosis ~ Age + Number + Start,

Hi, I wonder if anyone knows a study dealing with the minimum valid number of observations when using CART?. On top of that, when using RandomForest, is it possible to obtained a interpretable tree model as the graphical output of the analysis, just like in "rpart"? Thanks a lot in advance Javier Lozano Universidad de Le?n Spain

Hi dear R-help memebers, When building a CART model (specifically classification tree) using rpart, it is sometimes obvious that there are variables (X's) that are meaningful for predicting some of the outcome (y) variables - while other predictors are relevant for other outcome variables (y's only). *How can it be estimated, which explanatory variable is "used" for which of

I am trying to create a classification tree using either tree or rpart functions but when it comes to plotting the results the formatting I get is different than what I see in all the tutorials (like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9XNhqO1bu0A or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3mLNpeke0I&feature=related or http://www.statmethods.net/advstats/cart.html "tree for kyphosis").

Hi, all Our understanding of how classification trees in Rpart treat missing is that if the variable is ordinal(continous), Rpart, by default, imputes a value for missing. How do we do the classification tree and tell Rpart not to impute. That is, what command is used to turn off the imputation. Also, if we do get true missing, how does classification tree analysis in Rpart treat missing when

Simple example: # Classification Tree with rpart library(rpart) # grow tree fit <- rpart(Kyphosis ~ Age + Number + Start, method="class", data=kyphosis) Now I would like to know how can I measure the "importance" of each of my three explanatory variables (Age, Number, Start) in the model? If this was a regression model, I could have looked at p values from the

Dear R-helpers, I had a conversation with a guy working in a "business intelligence" department at a major Spanish bank. They rely on recursive partitioning methods to rank customers according to certain criteria. They use both SAS EM and Salford Systems' CART. I have used package R part in the past, but I could not provide any kind of feature comparison or the like as I have no

Can I say that RPART is a modified algo of CART and PARTY a modified of CHAID?
