Overview

About

Maintained by Patrick Miller5 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Fits a multivariate model of decision trees for multiple, continuous outcome variables. A model for each outcome variable is fit separately, selecting predictors that explain covariance in the outcomes. Built on top of 'gbm', which fits an ensemble of decision trees to univariate outcomes.

Install

R (source archive)pak (dev)

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/mvtboost/mvtboost_0.5.0.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "mvtboost_0.5.0.tar.gz"
download.file(url, pkgFile)
install.packages(pkgFile, type = "source", repos = NULL)

This package is no longer on CRAN, so install.packages() cannot fetch it by name. This downloads the last archived source (0.5.0) and builds it locally. Install its dependencies first, and note that building from source needs the usual compiler toolchain.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("patr1ckm/mvtboost")

Development version from patr1ckm/mvtboost. Installs pak first if it is not already available.
