Hi, Being a novice this is my first usage of R. I am trying to use rpart for building a decision tree in R. And I have the following dataframe Outlook Temp Humidity Windy Class Sunny 75 70 Yes Play Sunny 80 90 Yes Don't Play Sunny 85 85 No Don't Play Sunny 72 95 No Don't Play Sunny 69 70 No Play Overcast 72 90 Yes Play Overcast 83 78 No Play Overcast 64 65 Yes Play Overcast 81 75

Can I say that RPART is a modified algo of CART and PARTY a modified of CHAID?

Hi, I am trying to use CART to find an ideal cut-off value for a simple diagnostic test (ie when the test score is above x, diagnose the condition). When I put in the model fit=rpart(outcome ~ predictor1(TB144), method="class", data=data8) sometimes it gives me a tree with multiple nodes for the same predictor (see below for example of tree with 1 or multiple nodes). Is there a way

Hi, Is here anyone knows the difference between rapart and bagging when grow a CART tree? Thanks Qin

According to Dr. Breiman, the RF should be more accurate method than a single tree. However, the performance of each method seems to depend on the proprotion of outcome variable in my case. My data set is a typical classification problem (predict bad guys). When I ran both of them with different proportion of outcome variables(there's a criterion to measure the degree of bad behavior), I

Dear R people, I was recently reading the book `Classification and Regression Trees' by Breiman. This book talks about the CART program. Both Splus and R have implementations of this. However, the book talks about the possibility of extending the existing `standard' set of questions (for continuous variables, these are of the form X < c where X is the variable, c some const) to

Can anyone please help me out? I would like to do CART (classification and regression trees) in R. Is this at all possible? If so, how?

Hi all, Can anyone who is familar with CART tell me what I missed in my tree code? library (MASS) myfit <- tree (y ~ x1 + x2 + x3 + x4 ) # tree.screens () # useless plot(myfit); text (myfit, all= TRUE, cex=0.5, pretty=0) # tile.tree (myfit, fgl$type) # useless # close.screen (all= TRUE) # useless My current tree plot resulted from above code shows as:

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)

Hi, I have a technical question about rpart: according to Breiman et al. 1984, different costs for misclassification in CART can be modelled either by means of modifying the loss matrix or by means of using different prior probabilities for the classes, which again should have the same effect as using different weights for the response classes. What I tried was this: library(rpart)

Hai Can someone tel me whether it is possible to force in Variables at various levels of the tree in CART. I have been using RPART for CART which comes with PARTYKIT package (is this package good for CART or is there any other better package?). I am facing a problem with the tree it generates, it picks up variables which don''t make much sense. I want it to pick up few vars at few

Dear useRs: I try to plot an rpart object but cannot get a nice tree structure plot. I am using plot.rpart and text.rpart (please see below) but the branches that connect the nodes overlap the text in the ellipses and rectangles. Is there a way to get a clean nice tree plot (as in the Rpart Mayo report)? I work under Windows and use R2.11.1 with rpart version 3.1-46. Thank you. Tudor ...

Hello all, When building a CART model (specifically classification tree) using rpart, it is sometimes interesting to know what is the importance of the various variables introduced to the model. Thus, my question is: *What common measures exists for ranking/measuring variable importance of participating variables in a CART model? And how can this be computed using R (for example, when using the

I've been using the package rpart with R 1.3.0 for Windows to produce simple classification trees for some measurement data from paleontological specimens. Both the rpart documentation and the output confirm that the program produces splits on continuous data that leave "holes" in the data. It is probably of little practical importance, but is there a reason why the binary

Hello everyone, I'm a newbie to R and to CART so I hope my questions don't seem too stupid. 1.) My first question concerns the rpart() method. Which method does rpart use in order to get the best split - entropy impurity, Bayes error (min. error) or Gini index? Is there a way to make it use the entropy impurity? The second and third question concern the output of the printcp() function.

Greetings, I checked the Indian diabetes data again and get one tree for the data with reordered columns and another tree for the original data. I compared these two trees, the split points for these two trees are exactly the same but the fitted classes are not the same for some cases. And the misclassification errors are different too. I know how CART deal with ties --- even we are using the

I would like to know if is it possible implemet a partitioning tree using a function like rpart, or mvpart, and with formula a glm-object (as a logistic models) or a robust linear regression (as least sum of absolute errors). In this case, the appropriate "method" to use is "mrt"? Or another one? Thanks, Anna Maria Paganoni

Hello all, Could anyone advise me how can I implement classification and regression tree analyses for a circular response (angles)? Is there available R code or I would have to adapt code from "rpart" or "tree" libraries, which I am not sure would be able to do it? I would really appreciate any suggestion. Duarte

Greetings, I am using rpart for classification with "class" method. The test data is the Indian diabetes data from package mlbench. I fitted a classification tree firstly using the original data, and then exchanged the order of Body mass and Plasma glucose which are the strongest/important variables in the growing phase. The second tree is a little different from the first one. The
