Hi., I would like to conduct a CHAID tree analysis - Chi-square Automatic Interaction Detector. >From what I can make out from MASS, tree, rpart, and a quick search it isn't available as a package. Is that correct or have I missed it? Has anyone an available implementation of it? Thanks Stephen Nana Mail <http://mail.nana.co.il> - Get Your Free Personal Outlook 2003 Now

Dear mailinglist members, I have the following problem: I run a decision tree using the rpart function and, afterwords, I try to find to which leaf node a new register (not used to build the decision tree) belongs to. I will try to explain better: rpart.tree <- rpart(target.value ~., data) leaf.node <- new.function(rpart.tree, new.register) The new register has all the explanatory 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)

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

Hi! I'm trying to construct and plot a decision tree to class a set of only 8 objects and tried to use the rpart and tree function, but get a error message both times: rpart: fit is not a tree, just a root tree: cannot plot singlenode tree I read in the post 'question regression trees' that rpart doesn't split a set of fewer than 20 objects...so I guess the same holds true for

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 R users, I'm using the rpart package to build classification trees. I'm interested in implementing the ordered Twoing as a splitting criterion. Does anyone have experience with this task ?

Hi netters, I want to learn a decision tree from a series of instances (learning data). The packages tree or rpart can do this quite well, but the scoring functions (splitting criteria) are fixed in these packages, like gini or something. However, I'm going to use another scoring function. At first I wanna modify the R code of tree or rpart and put my own scoring function in. But it

Hi, I am somewhat new to R so this question may be foolish, but is it possible to add decision trees into a list, array or vector in R? I am trying to build a collection (ensemble) of decision trees. Every time a new instance arrive I need to get the prediction of each decision tree. I have tried to add a decision tree into a variable but without luck. Is a special package needed perhaps? This

Hi all, Does any of you know how to make a decision tree when the data set contains factors and numericals? I've got a data frame with 3 columns, where y and x1 are numerical and x2 contains factors. Is it possible to use the rpart package, and in that case how? Otherwise, is there another alternative? This is what I've tried so far > rpart(LT50_NA ~ Raf + Antho,

I have used packages rpart, mvpart and tree for classification and regression trees. I want to calculate fraction of null deviance explained by each node and variable in the tree. For instance, at the first split, this would be (1 - (sum of residual deviance in each of the two leaves)/deviance at the root). In the subsequent splits, this formula is slightly different. There probably is a function

I am familiar with the rpart and tree packages for classification and regression trees. However, quite a bit of the research in the transportation community relating to decision trees uses the C4.5 family of algorithms by Quinlan. Are there any plans to make a C4.5 (or a derivative of it) available to R? If not, then I might use the WEKA Java package ( http://www.cs.waikato.ac.nz/ml/weka) that

See ?rpart.control.

Hi Experts, I am new to R, using decision tree model for getting segmentation rules. A) Using behavioural data (attributes defining customer behaviour, ( example balances, number of accounts etc.) 1. Clustering: Cluster behavioural data to suitable number of clusters 2. Decision Tree: Using rpart classification tree for generating rules for segmentation using cluster number(cluster id) as target

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 ...

Hi, I am trying to write my own split function for rpart. The aim is to do, instead of anova, a linear regression to determine the split (minimize some criterion like sum of rss left and right of the split). The regression (lm) should simply use the dependent and independent variables passed to rpart. I am aware of the example provided in the rpart source code, but stumbled on similar problems

My decision tree grows only with one split and based on what I see in E-Miner it should split on more variables. How can I adjust splitting criteria in R? Also is there way to indicate that some variables are binary, like variable Info_G is binary so in the results would be nice to see "2) Info_G=0" instead of "2) Info_G<0.5". Thank you in advance! And thanks for Eric who

Hi all, I am trying to get to grips with rpart, and find it not very easy given the information that comes with the package. Contrary to e.g. the ctest package docs, it doesn't say when "an rpart" could be used, and/or how to interpret the results. Here are a few of the open questions I have: 1) Read in ?rpart: ...method: one of.... If y is a survival object... A similar
