Hi I am using boosting for a classification and prediction problem. For some reason it is giving me an outcome that doesn't fall between 0 and 1 for the predictions. I have tried type="response" but it made no difference. Can anyone see what I am doing wrong? Screen output shown below: > boost.model <- gbm(as.factor(train$simNuance) ~ ., # formula +

HI, Dear Greg, I AM A NEW to GBM package. Can boosting decision tree be implemented in 'gbm' package? Or 'gbm' can only be used for regression? IF can, DO I need to combine the rpart and gbm command? Thanks so much! -- Sincerely, Changbin -- [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Here is my code: mygbm<-gbm.fit(y=mytraindata[, 1], x=mytraindata[, -1], interaction.depth=4, shrinkage=0.001, n.trees=20000, bag.fraction=1, distribution="bernoulli") Here is the error: Error in gbm.fit(y = mytraindata[, 1], x = mytraindata[, -1], interaction.depth = 4, : The dataset size is too small or subsampling rate is too large: cRows*train.fraction*bag.fraction <=

I recently use gbm for a binary classification problem. As expected, it gets very good results, based on Area under ROC with 7-fold cross validation. However, the application (malware detection) is cost-sensitive, getting a FP (classify a clean sample as a dirty one) is much worse than getting a FN (miss a dirty sample). I would like to tune the gbm model biased to very low FP rate. For this

Dear All, I am far from being a guru about parallel programming. Most of the time, I rely or randomForest for data mining large datasets. I would like to give a try also to the gradient boosted methods in GBM, but I have a need for parallelization. I normally rely on gbm.fit for speed reasons, and I usually call it this way gbm_model <- gbm.fit(trainRF,prices_train, offset = NULL, misc =

Hi R User, I was trying to find a final model in the following example by using the Boosted regression trees (GBM). The program gives the fitted values but I wanted to calculate the fitted value by hand to understand in depth. Would you give moe some hints on what is the final model for this example? Thanks KG ------- The following script I used #----------------------- library(dismo)

Dear R users, I’m trying to understand how correlated predictors impact the Relative Importance measure in Stochastic Boosting Trees (J. Friedman). As Friedman described “ …with single decision trees (referring to Brieman’s CART algorithm), the relative importance measure is augmented by a strategy involving surrogate splits intended to uncover the masking of influential variables by others

Hi, I am trying to implement the Adaboost.M1. algorithm as described in "The Elements of Statistical Learning" p.301 I don't use Dtettling 's library "boost" because : - I don't understande the difference beetween Logitboost and L2boost - I 'd like to use larger trees than stumps. By using option weights set to (1/n, 1/n, ..., 1/n) in rpart or tree

On page 409 of "Applied Predictive Modeling" by Max Kuhn, it states that the gbm function can accomodate only two class problems when referring to the distribution parameter. >From gbm help re: the distribution parameter: Currently available options are "gaussian" (squared error), "laplace" (absolute loss), "tdist" (t-distribution

I'm using Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) and R 2.7.1. I've built a package from source (a modified version of gbm) and it contains some C++ code. I now want to cross-compile it to get a Windows version. I installed R using sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install r-base sudo apt-get install r-base-dev So far as I can tell, I've also followed all the instructions in the guide

Hi, I am having problems passing arguments to method="gbm" using the train() function. I would like to train gbm using the laplace distribution or the quantile distribution. here is the code I used and the error: gbm.test <- train(x.enet, y.matrix[,7], method="gbm", distribution=list(name="quantile",alpha=0.5), verbose=FALSE,

I am trying to call a C++ k-means function within R and I am struggling. I know that the below code is used to call a C++ function for gbm but how do I do it for k-means? gbm.obj <- .Call("gbm", Y=as.double(y), Offset=as.double(offset), X=as.double(x), X.order=as.integer(x.order),

I'm attempting to fit boosted regression trees to a censored response using IPCW weighting. I've implemented this through two libraries, mboost and gbm, which I believe should yield models that would perform comparably. This, however, is not the case - mboost performs much better. This seems odd. This issue is meaningful since the output of this regression needs to be implemented in a

Hi, there: I am always experiencing the scalability of some R packages. This time, I am trying gbm to do adaboosting on my project. Initially I tried to grow trees by using rpart on a dataset with 200 variables and 30,000 observations. Now, I am thinking if I can apply adaboosting on it. I am wondering if here is anyone who did a similar thing before and can provide some sample codes. Also any

I have a question about how one can modify or override the compilers that R uses for package installations? Or if perhaps this configuration is in some editable file somewhere. Initially I built the version of R 2.15.1 on Solaris SPARC (virtual T4), but found out the build was done as 32 bit. After some research, I found that the pre-compiled GCC version I had only allowed for 32 bit. I wanted

Generalized Boosted Models (gbm) This package implements extensions to Y. Freund and R. Schapire's AdaBoost algorithm and J. Friedman's gradient boosting machine (aka multivariate adaptive regression trees, MART). It includes regression methods for least squares, absolute loss, logistic, Poisson, Cox proportional hazards/partial likelihood, and the AdaBoost exponential loss. It handles

Good afternoon Has anyone tried using Dr. Elith's BRT script? I cannot seem to run gbm.step from the installed gbm package. Is it something external to gbm? When I run the script itself <- gbm.step(data=model.data, gbm.x = colx:coly, gbm.y = colz, family = "bernoulli", tree.complexity = 5, learning.rate = 0.01, bag.fraction = 0.5) ... I
