getImpRf: ranger Random Forest importance adapters

In Boruta: Wrapper Algorithm for All Relevant Feature Selection

ranger Random Forest importance adapters

Description

Those function is intended to be given to a getImp argument of Boruta function to be called by the Boruta algorithm as an importance source. getImpRfZ generates default, normalized permutation importance, getImpRfRaw raw permutation importance, finally getImpRfGini generates Gini index importance.

Usage

getImpRfZ(x, y, ntree = 500, num.trees = ntree, ...)

getImpRfGini(x, y, ntree = 500, num.trees = ntree, ...)

getImpRfRaw(x, y, ntree = 500, num.trees = ntree, ...)

Arguments

x	data frame of predictors including shadows.
y	response vector.
ntree	Number of trees in the forest; copied into ranger's native num.trees, put to retain transparent compatibility with randomForest.
num.trees	Number of trees in the forest, as according to ranger's nomenclature. If not given, set to ntree value. If both are given, num.trees takes precedence.
...	parameters passed to the underlying ranger call; they are relayed from ... of Boruta.

Note

Prior to Boruta 5.0, getImpLegacyRfZ function was a default importance source in Boruta; see getImpLegacyRf for more details.
