treeInfo

Tree information in human readable format


Description

Extract tree information of a ranger object.

Usage

treeInfo(object, tree = 1)

Arguments

object

ranger object.

tree

Number of the tree of interest.

Details

Node and variable ID's are 0-indexed, i.e., node 0 is the root node. If the formula interface is used in the ranger call, the variable ID's are usually different to the original data used to grow the tree. Refer to the variable name instead to be sure.

Splitting at unordered factors (nominal variables) depends on the option respect.unordered.factors in the ranger call. For the "ignore" and "order" approaches, all values smaller or equal the splitval value go to the left and all values larger go to the right, as usual. However, with "order" the values correspond to the order in object$forest$covariate.levels instead of the original order (usually alphabetical). In the "partition" mode, the splitval values for unordered factor are comma separated lists of values, representing the factor levels (in the original order) going to the right.

Value

A data.frame with the columns

nodeID The nodeID, 0-indexed.
leftChild ID of the left child node, 0-indexed.
rightChild ID of the right child node, 0-indexed.
splitvarID ID of the splitting variable, 0-indexed. Caution, the variable order changes if the formula interface is used.
splitvarName Name of the splitting variable.
splitval The splitting value. For numeric or ordinal variables, all values smaller or equal go to the left, larger values to the right. For unordered factor variables see above.
terminal Logical, TRUE for terminal nodes.
prediction One column with the predicted class (factor) for classification and the predicted numerical value for regression. One probability per class for probability estimation in several columns. Nothing for survival, refer to object$forest$chf for the CHF node predictions.
