mboost vs gbm
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

blackboost (mboost package) function leads to non-reclaimable memory usage
Dear all,
I am puzzled by R's memory usage when calling the blackboost function from
package mboost to estimate a Gradient boosting model on a simulated dataset
with 20 correlated variables and 100,000 obs. The blackboost object created
by the function is only 15.3Mb, but R's memory usage increases by about
3.9Gb during the estimation of the model and the memory is not released even
after

mboost: Interpreting coefficients from glmboost if center=TRUE
Sorry for the tardy reply but I just found your posting incidentally
today. To make long things short:
You are right about the centering. We forgot to correct the intercept if
center = TRUE. We lately found the problem ourself and fixed it in the
current version (mboost 2.0-3). However the problem only occurred if you
extracted the coefficients. As the intercept is rarely interpretable we

gamboost partial fit prediction
Dear useRs,
I am struggling to use gamboost function form the 'mboost' package. More
precisely, I am trying to extract the *partial fit* for each of the
covariates estimated in a model and I usually end up with this annoying: "Error
in newdata[[xname]] : subscript out of bounds ". I hope that the lack of
details in my query can be straightforwardly compensated by examining the

Trace values in the function ca.jo()
Hi all R users,
I'm trying to replicate the same results that are given in a published
article after been granted
the same data that the authors use.
I'm having problems to determine the cointegration rank of my data set using
the Johnasen's trace test.
This trace test is already programmed in the package ur.ca and can be found
in the function
ca.jo().
After I run the ca.jo()

informal conventions/checklist for new predictive modeling packages
Working on the caret package has exposed me to the wide variety of
approaches that different authors have taken to creating predictive
modeling functions (aka machine learning)(aka pattern recognition).
I suspect that many package authors are neophyte R users and are
stumbling through the process of writing their first R package (or R
code). As such, they may not have been exposed to some of the

mboost partial contribution plots
Just having read the nice review article on boosting in the latest
"Statistical Science", I would love to reproduce some of the plots inside
that article, but it is not clear to me how to create the partial
contribution plots for the Poisson regression.
Does anyone have example code for this ?
(The vignette does not offer it, I think)
Thanks !

mboost: Interpreting coefficients from glmboost if center=TRUE
I'm running R 2.10.1 with mboost 2.0 in order to build predictive
models . I am performing prediction on a binomial outcome, using a
linear function (glmboost). However, I am running into some confusion
regarding centering. (I am not aware of an mboost-specific mailing
list, so if the main R list is not the right place for this topic,
please let me know.)

problem with predict(mboost,...)
Hi,
I use a mboost model to predict my dependent variable on new data. I get the following warning message:
In bs(mf[[i]], knots = args$knots[[i]]$knots, degree = args$degree, :
some 'x' values beyond boundary knots may cause ill-conditioned bases
The new predicted values are partly negative although the variable in the training data ranges from 3 to 8 on a numeric scale. In order to

Out-of-sample predictions with boosting model
Hi UseRs -
I am new to R, and could use some help making out-of-sample predictions
using a boosting model (the mboost command). The issue is complicated by the
fact that I have panel data (time by country), and am estimating the model
separately for each country. FYI, this is monthly data and I have 1986m1 -
2009m12 for 9 countries.
To give you a flavor of what I am doing, here is a simple

Cforest mincriterion
Hi,
Could anyone help me understand how the mincriterion threshold works in
ctree and cforest of the party package? I've seen examples which state that
to satisfy the p < 0.05 condition before splitting I should use mincriterion
= 0.95 while the documentation suggests I should use mincriterion =
qnorm(0.95) which would obviously feed the function a different value.
Thanks in advance,
