Pruning of class ODRF.

Source: R/prune_ODRF.R
prune.ODRF.Rd

Prune ODRF from bottom to top with test data based on prediction error.

Usage

# S3 method for class 'ODRF'
prune(obj, X, y, MaxDepth = 1, useOOB = TRUE, ...)

Arguments

obj

An object of class ODRF.

X

An n by d numeric matrix (preferable) or data frame is used to prune the object of class ODRF.

y

A response vector of length n.

MaxDepth

The maximum depth of the tree after pruning (Default 1).

useOOB

Whether to use OOB for pruning (Default TRUE). Note that when useOOB=TRUE, X and y must be the training data in ODRF.

...

Optional parameters to be passed to the low level function.

Value

An object of class ODRF and prune.ODRF.

  • ppForest The same result as ODRF.

  • pruneError Error of test data or OOB after each pruning in each tree, misclassification rate (MR) for classification or mean square error (MSE) for regression.
