Dear R-users, I'm working with the Rpart package and trying to understand how the procedure select the best split in the case the method "class" and the splitting index "Gini" are used. In particular I'd like to have look to the source code that works out the best split for un unordered predictor. Does anyone can suggest me which functions in the sources I should

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).

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 ?

Dear all, I'm writing my own method to be used in Rpart by defining the list of functions named init, split and eval. I'm following the example given in the file 'tests/usersplits.R' in the sources. By now I'm able to define the split function (and it works correctly in the tree construction) while I have some problems with the init and the eval function. The task I'm

Dear R users, I am in trouble using the function solve(matrix) in a loop. When it happens that I have a singular matrix, I get an error message saying so and the loop stops. My question is if there in any way to keep on going in the loop. Thank you in advance, Laura *---------------------------------------------------------* Laura Antolini, PhD Department of

Dear R users, I know cross-validation does not work in rpart with user defined split functions. As Terry Therneau suggested, one can use the xpred.rpart function and then summarize the matrix of the predicted values into a single "goodness" value. I need only a confirmation: set for example xval=10, if I correctly understood a single column of the matrix obatined by xpred.rpart gives

Dear R users, I'm working with the rpart package and want to evaluate the performance of user defined split functions. I have some problems in understanding the meaning of the xval argument in the two functions rpart.control and xpred.rpart. In the former it is defined as the number of cross-validations while in the latter it is defined as the number of cross-validation groups. If I am

Hi all, I have a problem using rdirichlet{gtools}. For Dir( a1, a2, ..., a_n), its mode can be found at $( a_i -1)/ ( \sum_{i}a_i - n)$; The means are $a_i / (\sum_{i} a_i ) $; I tried to study the above properties using rdirichlet from gtools. The code are: ############## library(gtools) alpha = c(1,3,9) #totoal=13 mean.expect = c(1/13, 3/13, 9/13) mode.expect = c(0, 2/10, 8/10) #

I am a pretty new R user, I am running the latest linux version on xandros, updated with some extra debian packages, and I also run the latest windows version, but prefer linux. I am having trouble downloading "bayesm", it won't do it all from any of the sites on the web, I resorted to this one, http://packages.debian.org/unstable/math/r-cran-bayesm. and got slightly further, but I

Dear list members, I want to draw surfaces of Dirichlet distributions with different parameter settings. My code is the following: #<begin code> a1 <- a2 <- a3 <- 2 #a2 <- .5 #a3 <- .5 x1 <- x2 <- seq(0.01, .99, by=.01) f <- function(x1, x2){ term1 <- gamma(a1+a2+a3)/(gamma(a1)*gamma(a2)*gamma(a3)) term2 <- x1^(a1-1)*x2^(a2-1)*(1-x1-x2)^(a3-1)

There's Renka's STRIPACK, and TRIPACK, respectively, ACM TOMS Algorithms 772 and 751, and there's the R package "deldir" which does the Delaunay for a plane, but does anyone have or know of the tessellation in R for a sphere? Also, is there a standard indexing scheme for Delaunay facets, and perhaps of edges in such facets? I'd expect that to be a publication reference,

Hi, I would like to know if it is possible to have a "R code" to estimate the parameters of a mixture of bivariate (or multivariate) normals via EM Algorithm. I tried to write it, but in the estimation of the matrix of variance and covariance, i have some problems. I generate two bidimensional vectors both from different distribution with their own vector means and variance and

Hi R-users,I'm trying to solve a non linear equation, to find the degrees of freedom of a mixture of t student. I'm sure i wrote the minimization equation in the right way, but when i try to run the EM algorithm to estimate the parameters of the mixture, the following error will appear: Error in uniroot(function(z) log(z/2) - digamma(z/2) + 1 - log((z + d)/2) + : f() values at end
