In diversityForest: Innovative Complex Split Procedures in Random Forests Through Candidate Split Sampling

News for Package 'diversityForest'

Version 0.6.0

• The algorithm for calculating the class-focused (formerly 'multi-class') VIM and the discriminatory VIM has been substantially revised.

Version 0.5.0

• Multi forests (diversity forest variant tailored for multi-class outcomes) added together with the multi-class and the discriminatory VIM
• Plot functions for examining the shapes of the influences of the variables with the largest multi-class VIM values

Version 0.4.0

• Improved documentation
• Add categprob to plotPair()
• Switch to C++14 standard

Version 0.3.0

• Interaction forests added for categorical, metric, and survival outcomes
• Plot functions for visualizing interaction effects of covariate pairs through their (estimated) simultaneous influence on the outcome

Version 0.2.0

• Diversity forests using univariable, binary splitting for categorical, metric, and survival outcomes (previously only classification was possible)
• Bug fixes
