Tools for conditional inference trees and random forests

This package aims at complementing the party and partykit packages with parallelization and interpretation tools.

It provides functions for :

• parallelized conditional random forest
• parallelized variable importance
• feature selection : recursive and non-recursive feature elimination, algorithms based on permutation tests
• accumulated local effects (ALE), partial dependence and interaction strength
• surrogate tree
• prototypes
• getting any tree from a forest
• assessing the stability of a conditional tree
• bivariate association measures
• dot plots for variable importance and effects

It also provides a module and a shiny app for conditional inference trees.

Installation

Execute the following code within R:

if (!require(devtools)){
    install.packages('devtools')
    library(devtools)
}
install_github("nicolas-robette/moreparty")
