similar to: prune in rpart: choose number terminal nodes

Dear useRs: Is there a way I could predict the terminal node associated with a new data entry in an rpart environment? In the example below, if I had a new data entry with an AM of 5, I would like to link it to the terminal node 2. My searches led to http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/e4/help/08/07/17702.html but I do not seem to be able to operationalize Professor Ripley's suggestions. Many

Dear community, I've a tree which included at first 23 variables. Then I've pruned this tree, and there are only 8 variables involved. I'd like to predict and only introduce in newdata the values of these 8 variables involved. However, as the tree was built with the 23, it asked me for 15 values, even if it doesn't need them. Is there a way to introduce only this 8 values?

Brian The following (which is new to rw1030) occurs with both Windows 98 & Windows ME. I have not tested behaviour under Unix or Linux, but I expect it is no different. text.rpart() prints unwanted NAs (presumably in the splitting criterion position) on terminal nodes. Criterion <- factor(paste("Leaf", 1:5)) Node <- factor(1:5)

Hi, I am currently studying Decision Trees by using rpart package in R. I artificially created a data set which includes the dependant variable (y) and a few independent variables (x1, x2...). The dependant variable y only comprises 0 and 1. 90% of y are 1 and 10% of y are 0. When I apply rpart to it, there is no splitting at all. I am wondering whether this is because of the

Hi, I am using the packages tree and rpart to build a classification tree to predict a 0/1 outcome. The package rpart has the advantage that the function plotcp gives a visual representation of the cross-validation results with a horizontal line indicating the 1 standard error rule, i.e. the recommendation to select the most parsimonious model (the smallest tree) whose error is not more than one

I have a tree created with tr.hh.logcas <- rpart(log(YCASSX + 1)~AGE+DRUGUSEY+SEX+OBSXNUM +WINDLE, xval = 10) I would like to label the nodes with YCASSX rather than log(YCASSX + 1). But the help file for text in library rpart says that you can only use labels that are part of x$frame, which YCASSX is not. Is there a way to do what I want? Thanks in advance Peter Peter L.

Hi, I am building a regression tree (method=anova) by using rpart package and as a final result I get the final leaves characterized by different means and standard deviations for the dependent variable. However, differently from the classification tree for categorical variables I cannot find a way to assign each observation to a leaf, i.e. I can find no frame whcih contains the observation id

Hello list, I'm trying to generate classifiers for a certain task using several methods, one of them being decision trees. The doubts come when I want to estimate the cross-validation error of the generated tree: tree <- rpart(y~., data=data.frame(xsel, y), cp=0.00001) ptree <- prune(tree, cp=tree$cptable[which.min(tree$cptable[,"xerror"]),"CP"]) ptree$cptable

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

Hi all, I used rpart to fit a model, where the covariates in the model are categorical variables. Then I plotted the tree (mytree) and used the command "text" to add labels to the tree. In the nodes of the tree, the values of the covariates are represented with a, b or c. Is there a way to show the real value(s) of the variable in the nodes instead of a, b or c ? I found that the

Hi there. I was wondering if somebody knows how to perform a bagging procedure on a classification tree without running the classifier with weights. Let me first explain why I need this and then give some details of what I have found out so far. I am thinking about implementing the bagging procedure in Matlab. Matlab has a simple classification tree function (in their Statistics toolbox) but

Dear r-help-list: If I use the rpart method like cfit<-rpart(y~.,data=data,...), what kind of tree is stored in cfit? Is it right that this tree is not pruned at all, that it is the full tree? If so, it's up to me to choose a subtree by using the printcp method. In the technical report from Atkinson and Therneau "An Introduction to recursive partitioning using the rpart

After fitting and pruning an rpart model, it is often the case that one or more of the original predictors is not used by any of the splits of the final tree. It seems logical, therefore, that values for these "unused" predictors would not be needed for prediction. But when predict() is called on such models, all predictors seem to be required. Why is that, and can it be easily

In the help for rpart it says, "This differs from the tree function mainly in its handling of surrogate variables." And it says that an rpart object is a superset of a tree object. Both cite Brieman et al. 1984. Both call external code which looks like martian poetry to me. I've seen posts in the archives where BDR, and other knowledgeable folks, have said that rpart() is to be

Hi, This may actually be a theoretical question. When I tried to do the following: ########################################################## > colnames(rating.adclms) [1] "usage" "mileage" "sex" "excess" "ncd" [6] "primage" "minage" "drivers" "district" "cargroup" [11]

Hi R folks, I am using R version 2.2.1 for Unix. I am exploring the rpart function, in particular the rpart.control parameter. I have tried using different values for xval (0, 1, 10, 20) leaving other parameters constant but I receive the same tree after each run. Is the10 fold cross-validation default still running every time? I would expect the trees to change at least a little when I

Hello, I just upgraded my Ubuntu Xenial system to R 3.5.1 (from 3.4.?) by changing the sources.list entry and doing an "apt-get dist-upgrade". Everything works except loading the rpart package in R: > library(rpart) Error: package or namespace load failed for ?rpart?: package ?rpart? was installed by an R version with different internals; it needs to be reinstalled for use with

Hello there. I have fitted a rpart model. > rpartModel <- rpart(y~., data=data.frame(y=y,x=x),method="class", ....) and can use rpart$where to find out the terminal nodes that each observations belongs. Now, I have a set of new data and used predict.rpart which seems to give only the predicted value with no information similar to rpart$where. May I know how

Dear R users, I'm working with the rpart package and want to evaluate the performance of user defined split functions. I have some problems in understanding the meaning of the xval argument in the two functions rpart.control and xpred.rpart. In the former it is defined as the number of cross-validations while in the latter it is defined as the number of cross-validation groups. If I am

Dear list For my work, it would be helpful if rpart worked seamlessly with an empty model: library(rpart); rpart(formula=y~0, data=data.frame(y=factor(1:10))) Currently, an unrelated error (originating from na.rpart) is thrown. At some point in the near future, I'd like to release a package to CRAN which uses rpart and relies on that functionality. I have prepared a patch (minor
