similar to: Splitting criterion in tree and rpart

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). 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

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 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

Dear all, I would like to ask information about the package mvtnorm in R. It is very useful for me the "qmvnorm" comand, but I see that it can compute only quantile for equicoordinate. Is it possible to have a curve (or a set of values) if we don't want equicoordinates? Thank you Best regards Antonio. -- Antonio Lucadamo, Dipartimento di Scienze Economiche e Metodi Quantitativi

Dear all, I'm using the ellipse package and I would like to verify if the confidence region that I build with this package can be equivalent to an Union Intersection Test. I used different value for the t-statistic but I can not find the right equivalence. Does someone know how to choose the right value? Thanks a lot.

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 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

Hello anyone, I'm trying to install R on Mandriva 2006 distribution via rpm file with the line urpmi R-2.0.0-1mdk.i586.rpm but I got an error message saying that the file is not accessible due to some info problem. I also tried with a source code in R-2.1.1.tar but I think that there is some problem concerning the new version of gcc (4.x), so I downgraded it to gcc 3.4.5 but it does

Dear List, quantile(x) function allows to obtain specified quantiles of a vector of observations x. Is there an analogous function to compute quantiles in the case one have the vector of the observations x and the correspondent vector f of relative frequencies ?

I've just installed R 1.0.8 (for Windows) and I tried to install the package Quantreg directly from Cran but it's not in the list of downlodable packages. I tried also downloading the zip file and then install it but there is an error. How can I do it? Thank you [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear Gregory R. Warnes, I'm a phd student in statistics, at the University of Milano Bicocca. I'm interested to the methods of estimate the parameters of the Dirichlet distribution. Do you have implemented an algorithm in R? If so, can you give me the script? or, in general, some helps?

Hi All, I am in the middle of doing an analysis of a Case-Cohort design. I had three questions about the analysis: a) Does any one know of some public code for developing the patient risk sets (indexed by failure time) or is there a better way to organize the data? b) I was planning to use the Barlow weighting method. Has this or any other weighting method (Prentice, Self-Prentice) been

Dear ALL, I'm trying to figure out what the percentage effects are in a logistic regression. To be more clear, I'm not interested in the effect on y of a 1-unit increase in x, but on the percentage effect on y of a 1% increase in x (in economics this is also often called an "elasticity"). For example, if my independent variables are in logs, the betas can be directly

Hello Gurus: When I plot a survival fit using rpart for the classification tree, for each node, there is a decimal based number above the event/total. I tried to see if it's the exponential ratio or logrithmics, neither seem to be the case. I'm wondering if anyone knows what they are.
