Dear R community I have a question regarding the value of cost complexity parameter "k" used in "tree" package for pruning purpose. Any help in finding the optimum value of "k" is requested. Please give some suggestion in this regard. In the example below i used k=0 but i don't know why? But if i use k=NULL, then it will not plot the resultant tree.
library(tree) ds=iris; iris=transform(iris, Species = factor(Species, labels = letters[1:3])) miris <- tree(Species ~ ., data = iris, control=tree.control(nobs = 150, minsize = 5, mincut = 2)); iris.prun=prune.tree(miris, method=c("misclass"), best = NULL, k=0); iris.prun; summary(iris.prun); plot(iris.prun) best regards Muhammad Azam [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
