Overview

About

Maintained by Torsten HothornCRAN page ↗Codeberg ↗Issues ↗

A toolkit with infrastructure for representing, summarizing, and visualizing tree-structured regression and classification models. This unified infrastructure can be used for reading/coercing tree models from different sources ('rpart', 'RWeka', 'PMML') yielding objects that share functionality for print()/plot()/predict() methods. Furthermore, new and improved reimplementations of conditional inference trees (ctree()) and model-based recursive partitioning (mob()) from the 'party' package are provided based on the new infrastructure. A description of this package was published by Hothorn and Zeileis (2015) https://jmlr.org/papers/v16/hothorn15a.html.

Changes in 1.3-1

Documentation

Argument fraction in cforest was incorrectly documented, interchanging the proportions used for tree induction and for parameter estimation. A corresponding test of documented behaviour was added. Reported by Lisa Schlosser and colleagues at DataLabHell.
In the survreg example in vignette("mob", package = "partykit") it is no longer necessary to add a logLik.survreg method because this has been available in the survival package since version 2.37-6.

Bugfixes

Argument strata in cforest was silently ignored and works as advertised now. A corresponding test was added. Reported by Lisa Schlosser and colleagues at DataLabHell.
Overflow when predicting from forests with total number of nodes exceeding the sample size. A corresponding test was added. Reported by Lisa Schlosser and colleagues at DataLabHell.
Argument cluster in mob was not passed correctly to the fit function (reported by Lisa Schlosser and colleagues at DataLabHell). This was inconsequential for all examples in the package because cluster was only used for testing but not fitting the models.
Model weights were not preserved correctly in some cases in as.constparty (reported by Lisa Schlosser and colleagues at DataLabHell).

Other

Reduce memory footprint when fitting forests in parallel, thanks to Henrik Bengtsson.

Install

R (CRAN)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("partykit", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-partykit

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-partykit

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-partykit

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
