ggRandomForests (version 2.0.1)

gg_interaction: Minimal Depth Variable Interaction data object (find.interaction).

Description

Converts the matrix returned from find.interaction to a data.frame and add attributes for S3 identification. If passed a rfsrc object, gg_interaction first runs the find.interaction function with all optional arguments.

Usage

gg_interaction(object, ...)

Arguments

object

a rfsrc object or the output from the find.interaction function call.

...

optional extra arguments passed to find.interaction.

Value

gg_interaction object
