A function to fit the tree with look-ahead option

Description

A function to fit the tree with look-ahead option

Usage

REmrt_SSS(
  mf,
  maxL,
  minbucket,
  minsplit,
  cp,
  lookahead,
  alpha.endcut = 0.02,
  a = 50,
  multi.start = T,
  n.starts = 3
)

Arguments

mf	the data.frame to grow the tree
maxL	the maximum number of splits
minbucket	the minimum number of the studies in a terminal node
minsplit	the minimal number of studies in a parent node to be split
cp	the stopping rule for decrease of between-subgroups Q. Any split that does not decrease the between-subgroups Q is not attempted.
lookahead	an argument indicating whether to apply the "look-ahead" strategy when fitting the tree
alpha.endcut	parameter used in the splitting algorithm to avoid the endcut preference problem.
a	parameter used in the sss to determine the slope of the logistic function that replaces the indicator function.
multi.start	boolean indicating whether multiple starts must be used
n.starts	number of multiple starts

Value

a list including a tree, the split points, the data, and the nodes after each split
