This question concerns rpart's facility for user-defined functions that accomplish splitting. I was interested in modifying the code so that in each terminal node, a linear regression is fit to the data. It seems that from the allowable inputs in the user-defined functions, that this may not be possible, since they have the form: function(y, wt, parms) (in the case of the

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,

Hello, I'm currently dealing with a rather strange problem when using the function "stepAIC" ("MASS" package). The setting is the following: From model learning data sets ("learndata"), I want to be able to build prediction functions (in order to save them in a file for further use). This is done by the function "pred.function" (see below). Therein,

I'm looking for guidance on how to implement forward stepwise regression using lmStepAIC in Caret. The stepwise "direction" appears to default to "backward". When I try to use "scope" to provide a lower and upper model, Caret still seems to default to "backward". Any thoughts on how I can make this work? Here is what I tried: itemonly <-

Hello, Is the first time I am using SNOW package and I am trying to tune the cost parameter for a linear SVM, where the cost (variable cost1) takes 10 values between 0.5 and 30. I have a large dataset and a pc which is not very powerful, so I need to tune the parameters using both CPUs of the pc. Somehow I cannot manage to do it. It seems that both CPUs are fitting the model for the same values

Hi. I'm trying to plot a pair of intertwined spirals and an svm that separates them. I'm having some trouble. Here's what I tried. > library(mlbench) > library(e1071) Loading required package: class > raw <- mlbench.spirals(200,2) > spiral <- data.frame(class=as.factor(raw$classes), x=raw$x[,1], y=raw$x[,2]) > m <- svm(class~., data=spiral) > plot(m,

R-help, I am trying to perform a basic anlaysis of the BreastCancer data from "mlbench" using the svm() function in "e1071". I use the following code library("e1071") library("mlbench") data(BreastCancer) BC <- subset(BreastCancer, select=-Id) pairs(BC) model <- svm(Class ~ ., data=BC, cross=10) ## plot(model, BC, ) tobj <- tune.svm(Class ~ .,

Hi, Evgenia and I have copied an updated version of the mlbench package to CRAN which contains several new data sets. We have also changed some of the variable names to avoid name conflicts.
