Calculate mean conditional minimal depth

Calculate mean conditional minimal depth with respect to a vector of variables

min_depth_interactions(forest,
  vars = important_variables(measure_importance(forest)),
  mean_sample = "top_trees", uncond_mean_sample = mean_sample)

Arguments

forest	A randomForest object
vars	A character vector with variables with respect to which conditional minimal depth will be calculated; by default it is extracted by the important_variables function but this may be time consuming
mean_sample	The sample of trees on which conditional mean minimal depth is calculated, possible values are "all_trees", "top_trees", "relevant_trees"
uncond_mean_sample	The sample of trees on which unconditional mean minimal depth is calculated, possible values are "all_trees", "top_trees", "relevant_trees"

Value

A data frame with each observation giving the means of conditional minimal depth and the size of sample for a given interaction

Examples

forest <- randomForest::randomForest(Species ~ ., data = iris, ntree = 100)
min_depth_interactions(forest, c("Petal.Width", "Petal.Length"))
