Dear all, I have a 100 iteration loop. Within each loop, there are some calls to rpart() like: ctl <- rpart.control(maxcompete=0, maxsurrogate=0, maxdepth=10) temp <- rpart(y~., x, w=wt, method="class", parms=list(split="gini"), control=ctl) res <- log(predict.rpart(temp, type="prob")) newres <- log(predict.rpart(temp, newdata=newx,

Dear all, I'm having some problems with using the step() function inside another function. I think it is an environment problem but I do not know how to overcome it. Any suggestions are appreciated. I've prepared a simple example to illustrate my problem: > library(MASS) > data(Boston) > my.fun <- function(dataset) { + l <- lm(medv ~ .,data=dataset) + final.l <-

I'm trying to understand how to set graphical parameters for trees created with the party package.  For example take the following code:   library(party)     data(airquality)     airq <- subset(airquality, !is.na(Ozone))     airct <- ctree(Ozone ~ ., data = airq,                    controls = ctree_control(maxsurrogate = 3))     plot(airct)   My problem is, I've got a ctree that has

Dear All, I have data which contains 14 variables. And I have to regress one of variables on each variable (simple 13 linear regressions) I try to make a loop and store only R-squared colnames(boston) [1] "CRIM" "ZN" "INDUS" "CHAS" "NOX" "RM" "AGE" [8] "DIS" "RAD"

Dear all I am trying to fit Variable Coefficients Models on Unbalanced Panel Data. I managed to fit such models on balanced panel data (the example from the "plm" vignette), but I failed to do so on my real, unbalanced panel data. I can reproduce the error on a modified example from the vignette: > require(plm) > data("Hedonic") > Hed <- pvcm(mv ~ crim + zn + indus

I was trying to produced bagged importance estimates of attributes in earth using the caret package with the following commands:   fit2 <- bagEarth(loyalty ~ ., data=model1, B = 10)   bagImpGCV <- varImp(fit2,value="gcv") My bootstrap estimates are produced however the second command "varImp" produces the following error:    Error in UseMethod("varImp") : no

I would like to build a forest of regression trees to see how well some covariates predict a response variable and to examine the importance of the covariates. I have a small number of covariates (8) and large number of records (27368). The response and all of the covariates are continuous variables. A cursory examination of the covariates does not suggest they are correlated in a simple fashion

Hi, This is my code (my data is attached): library(languageR) library(rms) library(party) OLDDATA <- read.csv("/Users/Abigail/Documents/OldData250412.csv") OLDDATA$YD <- factor(OLDDATA$YD, label=c("Yes", "No"))? OLDDATA$ND <- factor(OLDDATA$ND, label=c("Yes", "No"))? attach(OLDDATA) defaults <- cbind(YD, ND) set.seed(47) data.controls

Dear R friends- I'm attempting to generate a regression tree with one gradient predictor and multiple responses, trying to test if change in size (turtle.data$Clength) acts as a single predictor of ten multiple diet taxa abundances (prey.data) Neither rpart or mvpart seem to allow me to do multiple responses. (Or if they can, I'm not using the functions properly.) > library(rpart)

I have been running into difficulties with dispatching on an S4 class defined in the SparseM package, when the method calls are inside a function passed as the f= argument to optimize() in functions in the spdep package. The S4 methods are typically defined as: setMethod("det","matrix.csr", function(x, ...) det(chol(x))^2) that is within setMethod() rather than by name before

Hi, there: I am wondering if there is a package in R (doing decison trees) which can provide some methods to evaluate the significance of attributes. I remembered randomForest gives some output like that. Unfortunately my current computing env. cannot handle my datasets if I use randomForest. So, I am thinking if other packages can do this job or not. Thanks, Ed

Hi, I'm using package "caret" to rank predictors using random forest model and draw predictors importance plot. I used below commands: rf.fit<-randomForest(x,y,ntree=500,importance=TRUE) ## "x" is matrix whose columns are predictors, "y" is a binary resonse vector ## Then I got the ranked predictors by ranking

All -- I have been trying to work with the 'Party' package using R v2.15.1 and have cobbled together a (somewhat) functioning code from examples on the web. I need to run a series of unbiased, conditional, cForest tests on several subsets of data which I have made into a loop. The results ideally will be saved to an output file in matrix form. The two questions regarding the script in

Hi, There is an excellent article at http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2105/9/307 by Stroble, et al. describing variable importance in random forests. Does anyone have any suggestions (besides imputation or removal of cases) for how to deal with data that *have* missing data for predictor variables? Below is an excerpt of some code referenced in the article. I have commented out one line and

Hello, I'm trying to use the party package function varimp() to get conditional variable importance measures, as I'm aware that some of my variables are correlated. However I keep getting error messages (such as the example below). I get similar errors with three separate datasets that I'm using. At a guess it might be something to do with the very large number of variables (e.g.
