bagging.cv: Runs v-fold cross validation with Bagging

In adabag: Applies Multiclass AdaBoost.M1, SAMME and Bagging

Runs v-fold cross validation with Bagging

Description

The data are divided into v non-overlapping subsets of roughly equal size. Then, bagging is applied on (v-1) of the subsets. Finally, predictions are made for the left out subsets, and the process is repeated for each of the v subsets.

Usage

bagging.cv(formula, data, v = 10, mfinal = 100, control, par=FALSE)

Arguments

formula	a formula, as in the lm function.
data	a data frame in which to interpret the variables named in formula
v	An integer, specifying the type of v-fold cross validation. Defaults to 10. If v is set as the number of observations, leave-one-out cross validation is carried out. Besides this, every value between two and the number of observations is valid and means that roughly every v-th observation is left out.
mfinal	an integer, the number of iterations for which boosting is run or the number of trees to use. Defaults to mfinal=100 iterations.
control	options that control details of the rpart algorithm. See rpart.control for more details.
par	if TRUE, the cross validation process is runned in parallel. If FALSE (by default), the function runs without parallelization.

Value

An object of class bagging.cv, which is a list with the following components:

class	the class predicted by the ensemble classifier.
confusion	the confusion matrix which compares the real class with the predicted one.
error	returns the average error.

Examples

## rpart library should be loaded
library(rpart)
data(iris)
iris.baggingcv <- bagging.cv(Species ~ ., v=2, data=iris, mfinal=3,
control=rpart.control(cp=0.01))
iris.baggingcv[-1]


## rpart and mlbench libraries should be loaded
## Data Vehicle (four classes) 
#This example has been hidden to keep execution time <5s
#data(Vehicle)
#Vehicle.bagging.cv <- bagging.cv(Class ~.,data=Vehicle,v=5,mfinal=10, 
#control=rpart.control(maxdepth=5))
#Vehicle.bagging.cv[-1]
