similar to: rpart package, text function, and round of class counts

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,

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"). I am

Dear All, In a package, I want to use PCA function. The structure I used follow this page: http://www.statmethods.net/advstats/factor.html. fit<-principle(mydata, nfactors=9, rotation=TRUE) or: result<-PCA(mydata) But I don't known why R language in my computer noticed: "not found principle", "not found PCA". I download and installed

Hello all, I would like to compare the similarity of two cluster solutions using a validation criteria (such as Hubert's gamma coefficient, the Dunn index the corrected rand index and so on) I see (from here:http://www.statmethods.net/advstats/cluster.html) that the function cluster.stats() in the fpc package provides a mechanism for comparing 2 cluster solutions - *BUT* - it requires me to

I am interested in applying a "classification tree" analysis where the response variable is a censored variable (survival data). I've discovered the package 'party' through this page: http://www.statmethods.net/advstats/cart.html. However, as my sample is not very big I would like to apply 'bootstrap' and use 'random forests', but with my censored response

Hello all, I wish to extract the terms from an rpart object. Specifically, I would like to be able to know what is the response variable (so I could do some manipulation on it). But in general, such a method for rpart will also need to handle a "." case (see fit2) Here are two simple examples: fit1 <- rpart(Kyphosis ~ Age + Number + Start, data=kyphosis) fit1$call fit2 <-

Dear R-users I am using RPART package to get regression trees. However having trouble getting the text function to put the full splitting rule number on the plot, instead to puts it in scientific notation. When a covariate has 1e4 or greater number of digits then the splitting rule number displayed on the plot is in scientific notation. But print.rpart displays the splitting rules in full.

Hi, Suppose i have generated an object using the following : fit <- rpart(Kyphosis ~ Age + Number + Start, data=kyphosis) And when i print fit, i get the following : n= 81 node), split, n, loss, yval, (yprob) * denotes terminal node 1) root 81 17 absent (0.7901235 0.2098765) 2) Start>=8.5 62 6 absent (0.9032258 0.0967742) 4) Start>=14.5 29 0 absent (1.0000000

Hi, is it possible to put a summary of an rpart-Object into a tktext-window? Here is what I'm trying to do: fit <- rpart(Kyphosis ~ Age + Number + Start, data=kyphosis) tt <- tktoplevel() tex <- tktext(tt) tkpack(tex) tkinsert(tex, "end", summary(fit)) But since the summary of an object is a list, I always get back the following error-message: cannot handle object of

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

Hello, Due to exploration of the JIT capabilities offered through the {compiler} package, I came by the fact that using enableJIT(2) can *slow* the rpart function (from the {rpart} package) by a magnitude of about 10 times. Here is an example code to run: library(rpart) require(compiler) enableJIT(0) # just making sure that JIT is off # We could also use enableJIT(1) and it would be fine fo

Hi all, I'm currently using the 'rpart' function to run some regression analysis and I am at the point where I wish to prune my overfitted trees. Having read the documentation I understand that to do this requires the use of the complexity parameter. My question is how to go about choosing the correct complexity parameter for my tree? In some places

Greetings R world, I know some version of the this question has been asked before, but i need to save the output of a loop into a data frame to eventually be written to a postgres data base with dbWriteTable. Some background. I have developed classifications models to help identify problem accounts. The logic is this, if the model classifies the record as including variable X and it turns out

Hi folks, I'm trying to estimate bias-corrected percentile (BCP) confidence intervals on a vector from a simple for loop used for resampling. I am attempting to follow steps in Manly, B. 1998. Randomization, bootstrap and monte carlo methods in biology. 2nd edition., p. 48. PDF of the approach/steps should be available here: https://wyocoopunit.box.com/s/9vm4vgmbx5h7um809bvg6u7wr392v6i9 If

I am using rpart to build a model for later predictions. To save the prediction across restarts and share the data across nodes I have been using "save" to persist the result of rpart to a file and "load" it later. But the saved size was becoming unusually large (even with binary, compressed mode). The size was also proportional to the amount of data that was used to create the

Hello all, I'm was going through the help for ?rpart.object And noticed some inconsistencies, Some might be a mistake in the help file and some might be my misunderstanding. The help in the section: value -> frame (first paragraph), states that: > yval, the fitted value of the response at each node, *and splits, a two > column matrix of left and right split labels for each node. *

Tjats great that you are familiar and thanks for responding. Have you ever done what I am referring to? I have alteady spent time going through links and tutorials about decision trees and random forrests and have even used them both before.

Buen día, no sé si estoy utilizando bien la lista, es la primera vez. Si lo hago mal me corrigen por favor. Sobre tu comentario Pedro, muchas gracias. Lo qeu entiendo con tu sugerencia de set.seed es qeu de esa forma fijas los resultados, pero no estoy seguro si otra agrupación funcione mejor. Es decir me interesa un método de agrupación que genere la "mejor" agrupación y como los

Greetings All, I am looking to write a parametrized Rscript that will accept a variable name(that also is the name of the flat file), transform the data into a data frame and preform various modeling on the structure and save the output and plot of the model. In this example i am using a rpart decision tree. The only problem i am having is integrating the parameter into the internal object name
