similar to: how to use the rpart function?

Hi all, I am trying to play around with the randomForest function for classification. I know its performance is great. I am currently using the default options. It has many options. How do I further tweak the options so that I can make its performance even better? What are the options that are mostly used? Thanks a lot! M [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear All When drawing a classification tree with plot(mytree) text(mytree) the conditions are written just before the nodes branch. My question is: can one be certain that those conditions refer to the left-side branches? (The R documentation surprisingly lacks the information that I am asking for.) Thanks in advance, Paul

Hola a todos, Me gustaría obtener la matriz de confusión generada a partir de la validación k-fold que aplica rpart por defecto. Alquien podría decirme como poder recuperar esa matriz. He echado un vistazo a la documentación de rpart, pero no consigo averiguarlo. Gracias de antemano Saludos Víctor [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi, I am using rpart decision trees to analyze customer churn. I am finding that the decision trees created are not effective because they are not able to recognize factors that influence churn. I have created an example situation below. What do I need to do to for rpart to build a tree with the variable experience? My guess is that this would happen if rpart used the loss matrix while creating

I've been groping my way through a classification/discrimination problem, from a consulting client. There are 26 observations, with 4 possible categories and 24 (!!!) potential predictor variables. I tried using lda() on the first 7 predictor variables and got 24 of the 26 observations correctly classified. (Training and testing both on the complete data set --- just to get started.) I

Hi, I just noticed that rpart behaves unexpectecly, when performing classification learning and specifying a loss matrix. if the response variable y is a factor and if not all levels of the factor occur in the observations, rpart exits with an error: > df=data.frame(attr=1:5,class=factor(c(2,3,1,5,3),levels=1:6)) > rpart(class~attr,df,parms=list(loss=matrix(0,6,6))) Error in

Estimadísimo Carlos: Muchísimas gracias por responderme y hacerlo tan rápido. Contemplé esa posibilidad, es decir, que el hiperparámetro estuviera suponiendo un problema, y probé de esta forma: > learner <- lrn("classif.ranger", num.trees = 5, mtry = NULL) Error: Element with key 'classif.ranger' not found in DictionaryLearner!

I am trying to create a classification tree using either tree or rpart functions but when it comes to plotting the results the formatting I get is different than what I see in all the tutorials (like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9XNhqO1bu0A or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3mLNpeke0I&feature=related or http://www.statmethods.net/advstats/cart.html "tree for kyphosis"). I am

I make classification tree like this code p.t2.90 <- rpart(y~aa_three+bas+bcu+aa_ss, data=training,method="class",control=rpart.control(cp=0.0001)) Here I want to set weight for 4 predictors(aa_three,bas,bcu,aa_ss). I know that there is a weight set-up in rpart. Can this set-up satisfy my need? If so, could someone give me an example? Thanks, Aimin Yan

Greetings. I'm trying to determine whether to use rpart or randomForest for a classification tree. Has anybody tested efficacy formally? I've run both and the confusion matrix for rf beats rpart. I've looking at the rf help page and am unable to figure out how to extract the tree. But more than that I'm looking for a more comprehensive user's guide for randomForest including

Bueno, creo que no contesté tu pregunta. Con training <- data[-i, ] crea una df llamada training, sin la muestra i, que después utiliza para entrenar el algoritmo.

Estimados amigos: Esta tarde he estado probando la librería mlr3, que me resulta muy interesante para trabajos de clasificación. En concreto, para entender su funcionamiento he probado un ejemplo simple (viene en CRAN). Sin embargo, cuando cambio el parámetro de clasifiación en la función de aprendizaje, me aparece el error siguiente: *Error: Element with key

Hi, This may actually be a theoretical question. When I tried to do the following: ########################################################## > colnames(rating.adclms) [1] "usage" "mileage" "sex" "excess" "ncd" [6] "primage" "minage" "drivers" "district" "cargroup" [11]

Hi, all Our understanding of how classification trees in Rpart treat missing is that if the variable is ordinal(continous), Rpart, by default, imputes a value for missing. How do we do the classification tree and tell Rpart not to impute. That is, what command is used to turn off the imputation. Also, if we do get true missing, how does classification tree analysis in Rpart treat missing when

Hi Experts, I am new to R, using decision tree model for getting segmentation rules. A) Using behavioural data (attributes defining customer behaviour, ( example balances, number of accounts etc.) 1. Clustering: Cluster behavioural data to suitable number of clusters 2. Decision Tree: Using rpart classification tree for generating rules for segmentation using cluster number(cluster id) as target

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 ...

Hi, First, thanks to those who helped me see my gross misunderstanding of randomForest. I worked through a baging tutorial and now understand the "many tree" approach. However, it is not what I want to do! My bagged errors are accpetable but I need to use the actual tree and need a single tree application. I am using rpart for a classification tree but am interested in a more unbaised

Hi, I am currently studying Decision Trees by using rpart package in R. I artificially created a data set which includes the dependant variable (y) and a few independent variables (x1, x2...). The dependant variable y only comprises 0 and 1. 90% of y are 1 and 10% of y are 0. When I apply rpart to it, there is no splitting at all. I am wondering whether this is because of the

Hi, I think I'm missing something very obvious, but I am missing it, so I would be very grateful for help. I'm using rpart to analyse data on skull base morphology, essentially predicting sex from one or several skull base measurements. The sex of the people whose skulls are being studied is known, and lives as a factor (M,F) in the data. I want to get back predictions of gender, and
