We are trying to make a decision tree using rpart and we are continually running into the following error: > fit_rpart=rpart(ENROLL_YN~MINORITY,method="class") > summary(fit_rpart) Call: rpart(formula = ENROLL_YN ~ MINORITY, method = "class") n= 5725 CP nsplit rel error 1 0 0 1 Error in yval[, 1] : incorrect number of dimensions ENROLL_YN is a

Hello: I am using rpart and would like more background on how the splits are made and how to interpret results - also how to properly use text(.rpart). I have looked through Venables and Ripley and through the rpart help and still have some questions. If there is a source (say, Breiman et al) on decision trees that would clear this all up, please let me know. The questions below pertain to a

I have created a multivariate regression tree using mvpart, with 3-4 responses. Though the plot shows bargraphs for each response, I would like to have the VALUES of the responses printed or indicated (via a scale or something) alongside the bargraph. Is this possible ?? Thanks, Manjunath [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi Prof. Williams, thanks for your suggestion. The updated code is below. It turns out it was a matter of displaying the second column in yval to get the number of N and subtracting it from the n column in the frame to get the number of Y remaining in a binary example. once this is added now the function returns the rules along with Y and N count affected by the resulting rule. I am ccing

A few weeks back I posted that the subset feature of rpart was not working when predicting a categorical variable. I was able to figure out a simple solution to the problem that I hope can be included in future editions of rpart. I also include a fix for another related problem. The basic problem is that when predicting a categorical using a subset, the subset may not have all the categories

Hi, I am new to R and need help with rpart. I am trying to create a classification tree using rpart. In order to plot the reults I use the plot function and the text function to label the plot of the tree dendrogram with text. The documentation of text.rpart says : "For the "class" method, label="yval" results in the factor levels being used, "yprob" results

Dear R-helpers, Can you help me to see why "code 1" gives error while "code 2" runs fine? The only difference in the data is the distribution of age categories. I am attaching the session after the code. Many thanks. XL library(survival) library(rpart) # code 1 n <- 20 age <- rep(1:3, c(2, 3, 15)) eg<- data.frame(rexp(n), rbinom(n,1,prob=.3), age=age)

Full_Name: Bill Wheeler Version: 2.0.1 OS: Windows 2000 Submission from: (NULL) (67.130.36.229) The program to reproduce the error is below. I am calling rpart with a user-defined split function for a binary response variable and one continuous independent variable. The split function works for some datasets but not others. The error is: Error in "$<-.data.frame"(`*tmp*`,

Hi, I'm trying to use adonis on a subset of data from a dataframe. The actual data is in columns 5:118, and the first four columns are various factors. There are 3 levels of the factor Habitat, and I want to examine differences among only two of them. So I started with: > CoastNear = subset(gel_data, Habitat != "I") The resulting data.frame has three levels for Habitat, but
