proximity: Compute proximity matrix

In semtree: Recursive Partitioning for Structural Equation Models

Compute proximity matrix

Description

Compute a n by n matrix across all trees in a forest, where n is the number of rows in the data, reflecting the proportion of times two cases ended up in the same terminal node of a tree.

Usage

proximity(x, data, ...)

Arguments

x	An object for which a method exists.
data	A data.frame on which proximity is computed
...	Parameters passed to other functions.

Details

SEM Forest Case Proximity

Value

A matrix with dimensions [i, j] whose elements reflect the proportion of times case i and j were in the same terminal node of a tree.
