In ggRandomForests: Visually Exploring Random Forests

Package: ggRandomForests Version: 2.2.1

ggRandomForests v2.2.1

• Fix docs for HTML5/Roxygen update

ggRandomForests v2.2.0

• Bring back the regression vignette
• Improve package tests and code coverage
• Clean up code with lintr

ggRandomForests v2.1.0

To pull this out of archive on randomForestSRC 3.1 build release. Fixed a plot bug for gg_error to show the actual curve (issue 35)

ggRandomForests v2.0.1

• Correct a bug in survival plots when predicting on future data without a known outcome.
• All Vignettes are now at https://github.com/ehrlinger/ggRFVignette
• All tests are being moved to https://github.com/ehrlinger/ggRFVignette
• Begin work on rewriting all checks to not use cached data. This will require more runtime, and hence we will run fewer of them on CRAN release.
• Minor bug and documentation fixes.

ggRandomForests v2.0.0

• Added initial support for the randomForest package
• Updated cache files for randomForestSRC 2.2.0 release.
• Remove regression vignettes to meet CRAN size limits. These remain available at the package source https://github.com/ehrlinger/ggRandomForests
• Minor bug and documentation fixes.

ggRandomForests v1.2.1

• Update cached datasets for randomForestSRC 2.0.0 release.
• Correct some vignette formatting errors (thanks Joe Smith)

ggRandomForests v1.2.0

• Convert to semantic versioning http://semver.org/
• Updates for release of ggplot2 2.0.0
• Change from reshape2::melt dependence to tidyr::gather
• Optimize tests for CRAN to optimize R CMD CHECK times.

ggRandomForests v1.1.4

• combine.gg_partial bug when giving a single variable plot.variable object.
• Remove dplyr depends to transitions from "Imports" to "Suggests".
• Argument for single outcome gg_vimp plot for classification forests.
• Improvements to gg_vimp arguments for consistency.
• Add bootstrap confidence intervals to gg_rfsrc function.
• Initial partial.rfsrc function to replace the randomForestSRC::plot.variable function.

• Move cache data to randomForestSRC v1.6.1 to take advantage of rfsrc version checking between function calls.

• Vignette updates for JSS submission of "ggRandomForests: Exploring Random Forest Survival".

• Vignette updates for arXiv submission of ggRandomForests: Random Forests for Regression

• Some optimizations to reduce package size.

• Remove all tests from CRAN build to optimise R CMD CHECK times.
• Remove pdf vignette figure from CRAN build.

• Return S3method calls to NAMESPACE for "S3 methods exported but not registered" for R V3.2+.

• Misc Bug Fixes.

ggRandomForests v1.1.3

• Update "ggRandomForests: Visually Exploring a Random Forest for Regression" vignette.
• Further development of draft package vignette "Survival with Random Forests".
• Rename vignettes to align with randomForestSRC package usage.
• Add more tests and example functions.
• Refactor gg_ functions into S3 methods to allow future implementation for other random forest packages.
• Improved help files.
• Updated DESCRIPTION file to remove redundant parts.
• Misc Bug Fixes.

ggRandomForests v1.1.2

• Add package vignette "ggRandomForests: Visually Exploring a Random Forest for Regression"
• Add gg_partial_coplot, quantile_cuts and surface_matrix functions
• export the calc_roc and calc_auc functions.
• replace tidyr function dependency with reshape2 (melt instead of gather) due to lazy eval issues.
• reduce dplyr dependencies (remove select and %>% usage for base equivalents, I still use tbl_df for printing)
• Further development of package vignette "Survival with Random Forests"
• Refactor cached example datasets for better documentation, estimates and examples.
• Improved help files.
• Updated DESCRIPTION file to remove redundant parts.
• Misc Bug Fixes.

ggRandomForests v1.1.1

Maintenance release, mostly to fix gg_survival and gg_partial plots. Fix the gg_survival functions to plot kaplan-meier estimates. Fix the gg_partial functions for categorical variables. Add some more S3 print functions. Try to make gg_functions more consistent. Further development of package vignette "Survival with Random Forests" Modify the example cached datasets for better estimates and examples. Improve help files. Misc Bug Fixes.

ggRandomForests v1.1.0

• Add panel option for gg_variable and gg_partial
• Rework interactions plot
• add gg_coplot functions
• Imports instead of depends
• Add version dependencies for randomForestSRC
• Include package vignette "Random Forests for Survival"
• Misc Bug Fixes

ggRandomForests v1.0.0

• First CRAN release.

ggRandomForests v0.2

• Initial useR!2014 release.
