The goal of etree is to provide a friendly implementation of Energy Trees, a model for classification and regression with structured and mixed-type data. The package currently cover functions and graphs as structured covariates.
You can install the development version of etree from GitHub with:
# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("ricgbl/etree")This is a basic example which shows how to fit an Energy Tree for regression using a toy dataset with four covariates of different types: numeric, nominal, functional, and in the form of graphs.
library(etree)
# Covariates
nobs <- 100
cov_num <- rnorm(nobs)
cov_nom <- factor(rbinom(nobs, size = 1, prob = 0.5))
cov_gph <- lapply(1:nobs, function(j) igraph::sample_gnp(100, 0.2))
cov_fun <- fda.usc::rproc2fdata(nobs, seq(0, 1, len = 100), sigma = 1)
cov_list <- list(cov_num, cov_nom, cov_gph, cov_fun)
# Response variable
resp_reg <- cov_num ^ 2
# Energy Tree fit
etree_fit <- etree(response = resp_reg,
covariates = cov_list)
