similar to: rpart error when constructing a classification tree

I am performing a binary classification using a classification tree. Ironically, the data themselves are 2483 tree (real biological ones) locations as described by a suite of environmental variables (slope, soil moisture, radiation load, etc). I want to separate them from an equal number of random points. Doing eda on the data shows that there is substantial difference between the tree and random

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 tried using rpart, as below, and got this error message "rpart Error in yval[, 1] : incorrect number of dimensions". Thinking it might somehow be related to the large number of missing values, I tried using complete data, but with the same result. Does anyone know what may be going on, and how to fix it? I have traced two similar error messages in the Archive, but following the

Hi, I am using the rpart package to build a classification tree. I did manage to build a tree with data on a previous project. However, when attampting to build a tree on a project I am working on, I seem to be getting the error shown below: > nhg3.rp <- rpart(profitresp ~., nhg3, method="class") > plot(nhg3.rp, branch=0.4, uniform=T); text(nhg3.rp, digits=3) Error in

Hello: I am using rpart and would like more background on how the splits are made and how to interpret results - also how to properly use text(.rpart). I have looked through Venables and Ripley and through the rpart help and still have some questions. If there is a source (say, Breiman et al) on decision trees that would clear this all up, please let me know. The questions below pertain to a

We are trying to make a decision tree using rpart and we are continually running into the following error: > fit_rpart=rpart(ENROLL_YN~MINORITY,method="class") > summary(fit_rpart) Call: rpart(formula = ENROLL_YN ~ MINORITY, method = "class") n= 5725 CP nsplit rel error 1 0 0 1 Error in yval[, 1] : incorrect number of dimensions ENROLL_YN is a

Hello All, Am I misreading the documentation? The text.rpart documentation says: "label a column name of x$frame; values of this will label the nodes. For the "class" method, label="yval" results in the factor levels being used, "yprob" results in the probability of the winning factor level being used, and ?specific yval level? results in the probability of

Dear all, I would like to model the relationship between y and x. y is binary variable, and x is a count variable which may be possion-distribution. I think it is better to divide x into intervals and change it to a factor before calling glm(y~x,data=dat,family=binomail). I try to use rpart. As y is binary, I use "class" method and get the following result. >

Hi, Suppose i have generated an object using the following : fit <- rpart(Kyphosis ~ Age + Number + Start, data=kyphosis) And when i print fit, i get the following : n= 81 node), split, n, loss, yval, (yprob) * denotes terminal node 1) root 81 17 absent (0.7901235 0.2098765) 2) Start>=8.5 62 6 absent (0.9032258 0.0967742) 4) Start>=14.5 29 0 absent (1.0000000

While I'm very pleased with the results I get with rpart and rpart.plot, I would like to change the scientific notation of the dependent variable in the plots into integers. Right now all my 5 or more digit numbers are displayed using scientific notation. I managed to find this: http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/e8/help/09/12/8423.html but I do not fully understand what to change, and to

Dear useRs: Is there a way I could predict the terminal node associated with a new data entry in an rpart environment? In the example below, if I had a new data entry with an AM of 5, I would like to link it to the terminal node 2. My searches led to http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/e4/help/08/07/17702.html but I do not seem to be able to operationalize Professor Ripley's suggestions. Many

After fitting and pruning an rpart model, it is often the case that one or more of the original predictors is not used by any of the splits of the final tree. It seems logical, therefore, that values for these "unused" predictors would not be needed for prediction. But when predict() is called on such models, all predictors seem to be required. Why is that, and can it be easily

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, I have a problem with library (rpart) (and/or library(tree)). I use a data.frame with variables "pnV22" (observation: 1, 0 or yes, no) "JTemp" (mean temperature) "SNied" (summer rain) I used function "rpart" to build a model: library(rpart) attach(data.frame) result <- rpart(pnV22 ~ JTemp + SNied) I got the following tree: n=55518 (50

Hi. I uses rpart to build a regression tree. Y is continuous. Now, I try to predict on a new set of data. In the new set of data, one of my x (call Incoterm, a factor) has a new level. I wonder why the error below appears as the guide says "For factor predictors, if an observation contains a level not used to grow the tree, it is left at the deepest possible node and

Hi everyone, I have a problem using rpart (R 2.0.1 under Unix) Indeed, I have a large matrix (9271x7), my response variable is numeric and all my predictor variables are categorical (from 3 to 8 levels). Here is an example : > mydata[1:5,] distance group3 group4 group5 group6 group7 group8 pos_1 0.141836040224967 a c e a g g pos_501

Hi dear R-help memebers, When building a CART model (specifically classification tree) using rpart, it is sometimes obvious that there are variables (X's) that are meaningful for predicting some of the outcome (y) variables - while other predictors are relevant for other outcome variables (y's only). *How can it be estimated, which explanatory variable is "used" for which of

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. Thanks, Karen _________________________________________________________________ Find hidden words,

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
