similar to: New package -- mvpart

I have a question relating to mvpart, which I hope you can answer. We recently conducted a study using TBR. In our first study, we used "regular" TBR in SPSS to model 1 dependent variable. Note we have a relatively small data-set of 100 cases. In SPSS, we used a minimum change of improvement smaller than 0.000001 as a stopping rule. Also, we chose the 1SE "rule", set the

Dear R community, I am analyzing plant communities with the function mvpart, using a dissimilarit matrix as input. The matrix is calculated with the funtion gdist. fit <- mvpart(gdist (ba12[,18:29], meth="maximum", full=TRUE, sq=F) ~ beers + slope_dem + elev_dem+ plc_dem + pr_curv+ +curv+max_depth+doc_rocks+ abandon+land_use+ca_old, data=ba12, xv="p") This

Hi all, I am fairly new to R and I am trying to run mvpart and create a MRT using explanatory variables and covariables. I've been following the procedures in Numerical Ecoogy with R. The command (no covariables) which works fine - ABUNDTMRT <- mvpart(abundance ~ .,factors,margin=0.08,cp=0,xv="1se",xval=nrow(abundance),xvmult=100,which=4) where abundance is 4th root

Hello, I'm using mvpart option xv="1se" to compute a regression tree of good size with the 1-SE rule. To better understand 1-SE rule, I took a look on its coding in mvpart, which is : Let z be a rpart object , xerror <- z$cptable[, 4] xstd <- z$cptable[, 5] splt <- min(seq(along = xerror)[xerror <= min(xerror) + xvse * xstd]) I interprete this as following: the

Hello, When trying to run mvpart either specifying my own parameters or using the defaults, I get the following error: Error in all(is.leaf) : unused argument(s) (c(FALSE, TRUE, FALSE, FALSE, TRUE, TRUE, TRUE)) As far as I can tell, is.leaf is part of the dendrogam package, so I'm assuming there's some problem with the graphical parameters. However running same formula and data

Hello everyone, I am currently using the mvpart package and would like to change the color scheme it uses, and was hoping someone could help me out. All of the papers I have found have used a grayscale but I can't seem to figure out how they did that! Currently, mvpart plots barplots in a repeating sequence of 3 shades of blue. So if you have 6 response variables the same shade of blue is used

Still about the mvpart. Is there any way I can control for the number of elements in each node in the function mvpart? Specifically, how can I ask partition to ignore node with elements less than 10? Thanks! -Shu

Dear all, I'm getting an error in one of the stock examples in the 'mvpart' package. I tried: require(mvpart) data(spider) fit3 <- rpart(gdist(spider[,1:12],meth="bray",full=TRUE,sq=TRUE)~water+twigs+reft+herbs+moss+sand,spider,method="dist") #directly from ?rpart summary(fit3) ...which returned the following: Error in apply(formatg(yval, digits - 3), 1,

Hello, I'm using the R package called mvpart, which is about the multivariate regression trees. The function I wrote is: mrt1<- mvpart(coefmat~sChip+sScreen+sMem,data=mixdata, xv="pick", plot.add=TRUE,uniform=TRUE,which=4,all=TRUE,xadj=2,yadj=2,rsq=TRUE,big.pts=TRUE,wgt.ave.pca=TRUE,legend=TRUE,bars=F, pca=TRUE) where "coefmat" is a matrix(of dimension N*K) to store

Dear all, I was wondering if there is a simple way to avoid printing the multiple cross-validation automatic output to the console of recursive partitionning functions like rpart or mvpart. For example... > data(spider) > mvpart(data.matrix(spider[,1:12])~herbs+reft+moss+sand+twigs+water,spider,xv="1se",xvmult=100) *X-Val rep : 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15

Hi, I'd like to perform Dufrene-Legendre Indicator Species Analysis for a multivariate regression tree. However I have problems with arguments of duleg(veg,class,numitr=1000)function. How to obtain a vector of numeric class memberships for samples, or a classification object returned from mvpart? thanks in advance -- Best regards, Agnieszka Strzelczak

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]]

Dear R-list, I am using the rpart/mvpart-package for selecting a right-sized regression tree by 10-fold cross-validation. My question: Is there a possibility to find out for every observation in which of the ten folds it is lying? I want to use the same folds for validating another regression method (moving averages) in order to choose the better one. Thanks a lot, Pedro

Dear Mr Moderator, please let me through. I want to reply to my own thread. I once subscribed to this list, but then my subscription was not accepted. Now to the business: The final failure came from missing .install.macbinary() function. I grepped R-patched sourcesand the only instance of .install.macbinary() was the call to the function in R- patched/src/library/utils/R/packages2.R (stupid

Dear R's I'm trying to use specific rather than random cross-validation groups in mvpart. The man page says: xval Number of cross-validations or vector defining cross-validation groups. And I found this reply to the list by Terry Therneau from 2006 The rpart function allows one to give the cross-validation groups explicitly. So if the number of observations was 10, you could use
