Hi all, There is now a package available on CRAN that provides an R interface to Leo Breiman's random forest classifier. Basically, random forest does the following: 1. Select ntree, the number of trees to grow, and mtry, a number no larger than number of variables. 2. For i = 1 to ntree: 3. Draw a bootstrap sample from the data. Call those not in the bootstrap sample the

Hi, My apologies for asking this question, but could not find the answer elsewhere. I understand the glmnet package uses Fortran code. For example, the lognet.R file includes the lines of code shown below. But how can I see the Fortran code that is being referenced in the code below? Is that provided somewhere in the package source code? .Fortran("lognet",

Dear Axel, I've used environment for such problems. assign("xs", xs, envir = my.env) in the myApp function get("xs", envir = my.env) in the server function Best regards, ir.

Thank you Thierry. I'm trying to following your suggestion in the example below, but getting: Error in get("xs", envir = my.env) : object 'my.env' not found. library(shiny) library(shinydashboard) myApp <- function(x, ...) { xs <- scale(x) my.env <- new.env() assign("xs", xs, envir = my.env) shiny::runApp(app) } app = shinyApp( ui =

Dear List, I'm trying to add a function that calls a Shiny App in my R package. The issue is that within my function, I'm creating objects that I'd like to pass to the app. For instance, from the example below, I'm getting "Error: object 'xs' not found". How can I pass "xs" explicitly to shinyApp()? *Under R directory:* myApp <- function(x, ...) {

Dear R users, I know this issue came up in the list several times. I’m currently running R on 32-bit on Windows and due to memory limitation problems would like to move to a 64-bit environment. I’m exploring my options and would appreciate your expertise: 1) Windows 64-bit: Prof. Brian Ripley recently posted the experimental built of R for win 64-bit. I’ll appreciate any feedback on

Dear List, I have a wrapper function that creates a Shiny App, as illustrated below. I'd like to include the function myApp() inside a package. I'd appreciate your guidance here, as I could not find good instructions on this online. myApp <- function(x) { require(shiny) shinyApp( ui = fluidPage( sidebarLayout( sidebarPanel(sliderInput("n",

So I've been working with Random Forests ( R library is randomForest) and I curious if Random Forests could be applied to classifying on a real time basis. For instance lets say I've scored fraud from a group of transactions. If I want to score any new incoming transactions for fraud could Random Forests be used in that context. Linear Regression is nice in that it is very easy to

Hello! I think I am relatively clear on how predictor importance (the first one) is calculated by Random Forests for a Classification tree: Importance of predictor P1 when the response variable is categorical: 1. For out-of-bag (oob) cases, randomly permute their values on predictor P1 and then put them down the tree 2. For a given tree, subtract the number of votes for the correct class in the

Dear all, I would like to use a tree regression method to analyze my dataset. I am interested in the fact that random forests creates in-bag and out-of-bag datasets, but I also need an estimate of support for each split. That seems hard to do in random forests since each tree is grown using a subset of the predictor variables. I was thinking of setting mtry = number of predictor variables,

Hi All, I didn't have much success through my Google search in finding any active R-related projects to create a wrapper around TensorFlow in R. Anyone know if this is on the go? Thanks, Axel. [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi All, I'm planning to submit my first package to R, and although I read all the documentation, I'm not very clear on the following 2 items, from which I'd appreciate your guidance: 1)I understand it is suggested to use the R dev version to build the package. Which one specifically should I use to build a package on a Mac OS? How about package dependencies, which version should I

Dear List, The gbm package on Win 7 produces different results for the relative importance of input variables in R 32-bit relative to R 64-bit. Any idea why? Any idea which one is correct? Based on this example, it looks like the relative importance of 2 perfectly correlated predictors is "diluted" by half in 32-bit, whereas in 64-bit, one of these predictors gets all the importance

Dear List, I'm trying to solve this simple optimization problem in R. The parameters are the exponents to the matrix mm. The constraints specify that each row of the parameter matrix should sum to 1 and their product to 0. I don't understand why the constraints are not satisfied at the solution. I must be misinterpreting how to specify the constrains somehow. library(alabama) ff <-

Guys, I used Random Forest with a couple of data sets I had to predict for binary response. In all the cases, the AUC of the training set is coming to be 1. Is this always the case with random forests? Can someone please clarify this? I have given a simple example, first using logistic regression and then using random forests to explain the problem. AUC of the random forest is coming out to be

Hi, I had two questions regarding random forests for regression. 1) I have read the original paper by Breiman as well as a paper dicussing an application of random forests and it appears that the one of the nice features of this technique is good predictive ability. However I have some data with which I have generated a linear model using lm(). I can get an RMS error of 0.43 and an R^2 of

Dear List, I’d like to modify the R rpart package source code to add a new split criterion. I’m familiar with R, but not at all with C or C++. I understand C and C++ are quite different, and I don’t have the time to learn both, so my questions are (i) which one should I learn for the specific task mentioned above? (I understand rpart routines are written in C, but want to check this), (ii) more

Dear list, For a reason it would take me long to explain, I need to do something along the lines of what's shown below -- i.e., create an object from dplyr::summarise, and then evaluate it on a data frame. I know I could directly do: df %>% dplyr::summarise(x1_mean = mean(x1)) but this is not what I'm looking for. library(dplyr) df <- data.frame(x1 = rnorm(100), x2 =
