mvtboost (version 0.5.0)

mvtb.ri: Computes the relative influence of each predictor for each outcome

Description

The relative influence of a predictor is the reduction in sums of squares attributable to splits on individual predictors. It is often expressed as a percent (sums to 100).

Usage

mvtb.ri(object, n.trees = NULL, relative = "col", ...)

Arguments

object
mvtb output object
n.trees
number of trees to use. Defaults to the minimum number of trees by CV, test, or training error
relative
How to scale the multivariate influences. If "col", each column sums to 100. If "tot", the whole matrix sums to 100 (a percent). Otherwise, the raw reductions in SSE are returned.
...
Additional arguments passed to gbm::relative.influence

Value

Matrix of (relative) influences.
