BARTMachineModel {MachineShop} | R Documentation |
Builds a BART model for regression or classification.
BARTMachineModel( num_trees = 50, num_burn = 250, num_iter = 1000, alpha = 0.95, beta = 2, k = 2, q = 0.9, nu = 3, mh_prob_steps = c(2.5, 2.5, 4)/9, verbose = FALSE, ... )
num_trees |
number of trees to be grown in the sum-of-trees model. |
num_burn |
number of MCMC samples to be discarded as "burn-in". |
num_iter |
number of MCMC samples to draw from the posterior distribution. |
alpha, beta |
base and power hyperparameters in tree prior for whether a node is nonterminal or not. |
k |
regression prior probability that E(Y|X) is contained in the interval (y_{min}, y_{max}), based on a normal distribution. |
q |
quantile of the prior on the error variance at which the data-based estimate is placed. |
nu |
regression degrees of freedom for the inverse sigma^2 prior. |
mh_prob_steps |
vector of prior probabilities for proposing changes to the tree structures: (GROW, PRUNE, CHANGE). |
verbose |
logical indicating whether to print progress information about the algorithm. |

In calls to varimp
for BARTMachineModel
, argument
metric
may be specified as "splits"
(default) for the
proportion of time each predictor is chosen for a splitting rule or as
"trees"
for the proportion of times each predictor appears in a tree.
Argument num_replicates
is also available to control the number of
BART replicates used in estimating the inclusion proportions [default: 5].
Variable importance is automatically scaled to range from 0 to 100. To
obtain unscaled importance values, set scale = FALSE
. See example
below.

## Requires prior installation of suggested package bartMachine to run model_fit <- fit(sale_amount ~ ., data = ICHomes, model = BARTMachineModel) varimp(model_fit, metric = "splits", num_replicates = 20, scale = FALSE)
