similar to: CART with a circular response

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

Dear R friends- I'm attempting to generate a regression tree with one gradient predictor and multiple responses, trying to test if change in size (turtle.data$Clength) acts as a single predictor of ten multiple diet taxa abundances (prey.data) Neither rpart or mvpart seem to allow me to do multiple responses. (Or if they can, I'm not using the functions properly.) > library(rpart)

Hi all, I am a beginar user of R and try to do some CART analysis with it. With "rpart" we can get several terminals and draw it in the TREE plot. Now I am trying to draw a plot like this: x-axis is each terminal's value, and y-axis is those observe values. Does anyone has idea what gramma should I use? Thanks in advance.

Hi, I am trying to use CART to find an ideal cut-off value for a simple diagnostic test (ie when the test score is above x, diagnose the condition). When I put in the model fit=rpart(outcome ~ predictor1(TB144), method="class", data=data8) sometimes it gives me a tree with multiple nodes for the same predictor (see below for example of tree with 1 or multiple nodes). Is there a way

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

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 would like to know if is it possible implemet a partitioning tree using a function like rpart, or mvpart, and with formula a glm-object (as a logistic models) or a robust linear regression (as least sum of absolute errors). In this case, the appropriate "method" to use is "mrt"? Or another one? Thanks, Anna Maria Paganoni

Hi, I have a technical question about rpart: according to Breiman et al. 1984, different costs for misclassification in CART can be modelled either by means of modifying the loss matrix or by means of using different prior probabilities for the classes, which again should have the same effect as using different weights for the response classes. What I tried was this: library(rpart)

Dear all, I am still a R apprentice... Apologies for the basic question. I am trying to reshape a dataframe based on the order of two variables (a character variable and a numerical variable). To simplify it, consider the following dataframe > df<-data.frame(id=c("b","b","a","a","a"),ord=c(2,1,1,3,2)) id ord 1 b 2 2 b 1 3 a 1 4

Hello list, I'm having a problem with custom functions in rpart, and before I tear my hair out trying to fix it, I want to make sure it's actually a problem. It seems that, when you write custom functions for rpart (init, split and eval) then rpart no longer cross-validates the resulting tree to return errors. A simple test is to use the usersplits.R function to get a simple, custom

Hello all, As an example, consider the following dataframe > df<-data.frame(id=c("b","b","a","a","a"),ord=c(2,1,1,3,2)) > dates<-as.Date(c("02/27/92", "02/27/92", "01/14/92", "02/28/92", "02/01/92"),"%m/%d/%y") > df$dates<-dates which was ordered with >

Hi, Is here anyone knows the difference between rapart and bagging when grow a CART tree? Thanks Qin

Hi, I am using rpart decision trees to analyze customer churn. I am finding that the decision trees created are not effective because they are not able to recognize factors that influence churn. I have created an example situation below. What do I need to do to for rpart to build a tree with the variable experience? My guess is that this would happen if rpart used the loss matrix while creating

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).

Hello all, I am trying to do a Latin Hypercube Sampling (LHS) to a 5-parameter design matrix. I start as follows: library(lhs) p1<-randomLHS(1000, 5) If I check the distribution of each parameter (column), they are perfectly uniformly distributed (as expected).For example, hist(p1[,1]) Now the hard (maybe strange) question. I want the combination of the first three parameters to sum up to
