similar to: Are minbucket and minsplit rpart options working as expected?

Dear r-help mailing list, Is there a way to incorporate weights into the minsplit criteria in rpart, when the weights are uneven? I could not find a way for the minsplit threshold to take the weights into account, and when the weights are uneven it becomes an issue, as the following example shows. My current workaround is to expand the data into one in which each row is an observation, but that

HI, Dear R community, I am writing the following function to create one data set(*tree.pred*) and one vector(*valid.out*) from loops. Later, I want to use the data set from this loop to plot curves. I have tried return, list, but I can not use the *tree.pred* data and *valid.out* vector. auc.tree<- function(msplit,mbucket) { * tree.pred<-data.frame()

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)

Dear All, I have a question regarding predict.rpart. I use rpart to build classification and regression trees and I deal with data with relatively large number of input variables (predictors). For example, I build an rpart model like this rpartModel <- rpart(Y ~ X, method="class", minsplit =1, minbucket=nMinBucket,cp=nCp); and get predictors used in building the model like

Hi. I uses rpart to build a regression tree. Y is continuous. Now, I try to predict on a new set of data. In the new set of data, one of my x (call Incoterm, a factor) has a new level. I wonder why the error below appears as the guide says "For factor predictors, if an observation contains a level not used to grow the tree, it is left at the deepest possible node and

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)

mboost contains a blackboost method to build tree-based boosting models. I tried to write my own "cost-sensitive" ada family. But obviously my understanding to implement ngradient, loss, and offset functions is not right. I would greatly appreciate if anyone can help me out, or show me how to write a cost-sensitive family, thanks! Follows are some families I wrote ngradient <-

Dear all, I know in rpart(), one can control the tree size (i.e. number of terminal nodes) through rpart.control(), e.g. minsplit, minbucket, maxdepth etc. But is there any more direct way to specify the number of terminal nodes when rpart() does the recursive partitioning? Your help is highly appreciated! Regards, -Ji

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 all, I'm trying to manage with user defined split function in rpart (file rpart\tests\usersplits.R in http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/rpart_3.1-34.tar.gz - see bottom of the email). Suppose to have the following data.frame (note that x's values are already sorted) > D y x 1 7 0.428 2 3 0.876 3 1 1.467 4 6 1.492 5 3 1.703 6 4 2.406 7 8 2.628 8 6 2.879 9 5 3.025 10 3 3.494

Hello. I have used the "party" package to generate a regression tree as follows: >origdata<-read.csv("origdata.csv") >ctrl<-ctree_control(mincriterion=0.99,maxdepth=10,minbucket=10) >test.ct<-ctree(Y~X1+X2+X3,data=origdata,control=ctrl) The above works fine. Orig data was my training data. I now have a test data file (testdata), and

Is there an optimal / minimum sample size for attempting to construct a classification tree using /rpart/? I have 27 seagrass disturbance sites (boat groundings) that have been monitored for a number of years. The monitoring protocol for each site is identical. From the monitoring data, I am able to determine the level of recovery that each site has experienced. Recovery is our

Should one expect minor numerical differences between 64bit and 32bit R on Windows? Hunting around the lists I've not been able to find a definitive answer yet. Seems plausible using different precision arithmetic, but waned to confirm from those who might know for sure. BACKGROUND A colleague was trying to replicate some modelling results (from a soon to be published book) using rpart, ada,

Hi, I have been working generating decision tree analyses on large numbers of simulation datasets using the RPART function.? With some datasets, RPART is returning an error of "Error in yval[, 1] : incorrect number of dimensions".? There seem to be certain types of splits that cause it to break and return this message.? I?am able to isolate the record at which this error message

I'm stumped with this. When I execute the lines in the function singly, they run fine, but when I run the function, I get this error on the read.table() line: Error in count.fields(file, sep, quote, skip) : can't open file fspci1.dat Can anyone tell my why this should be so? Here is the program: library(rpart) wait <- function(str="Press a key when ready...")

I have a class with 732 members, so using rpart.plot is giving me a tiny plot in the middle of the window. Is there a good way to modify the plot, or replace the long list with something like "group1"? -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Plotting-rpart-trees-with-long-list-of-class-members-tp4635671.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at

Full_Name: Bill Wheeler Version: 2.0.1 OS: Windows 2000 Submission from: (NULL) (67.130.36.229) The program to reproduce the error is below. I am calling rpart with a user-defined split function for a binary response variable and one continuous independent variable. The split function works for some datasets but not others. The error is: Error in "$<-.data.frame"(`*tmp*`,

Buenas, Estoy creando unos modelos donde necesito normalizar los datos antes de crear el modelo. Estoy haciendo árboles de clasifciacion, pero me surge la duda de saber como tengo que hacer, pues cuando muestro el arbol me sale con lo svalores normalizados, pero me gustaria uqe el arbol diera ya directamente las conclusiones con los datos no normalizados. Lo que hago yo ahora es desnormalizar

Hi All, I have to say upfront that I am a complete neophyte when it comes to programming. Nevertheless I enjoy the challenge of using R because of its incredible statistical resources. My problem is this .........I am running a regression tree analysis using "rpart" and I need to run the calculation repeatedly (say n=50 times) to obtain a distribution of results from which I will pick
