In spm: Spatial Predictive Modeling

Cross validation, n-fold for the hybrid method of random forest and inverse distance weighting (RFIDW)

Description

This function is a cross validation function for the hybrid method of random forest and inverse distance weighting (RFIDW).

Usage

rfidwcv(
  longlat,
  trainx,
  trainy,
  cv.fold = 10,
  mtry = function(p) max(1, floor(sqrt(p))),
  ntree = 500,
  idp = 2,
  nmax = 12,
  predacc = "VEcv",
  ...
)

Arguments

longlat	a dataframe contains longitude and latitude of point samples (i.e., trainx and trainy).
trainx	a dataframe or matrix contains columns of predictive variables.
trainy	a vector of response, must have length equal to the number of rows in trainx.
cv.fold	integer; number of folds in the cross-validation. if > 1, then apply n-fold cross validation; the default is 10, i.e., 10-fold cross validation that is recommended.
mtry	a function of number of remaining predictor variables to use as the mtry parameter in the randomForest call.
ntree	number of trees to grow. This should not be set to too small a number, to ensure that every input row gets predicted at least a few times. By default, 500 is used.
idp	numeric; specify the inverse distance weighting power.
nmax	for local predicting: the number of nearest observations that should be used for a prediction or simulation, where nearest is defined in terms of the space of the spatial locations. By default, 12 observations are used.
predacc	can be either "VEcv" for vecv or "ALL" for all measures in function pred.acc.
...	other arguments passed on to randomForest or gstat.

Value

A list with the following components: for numerical data: me, rme, mae, rmae, mse, rmse, rrmse, vecv and e1; or vecv.

Note

This function is largely based on rf.cv (see Li et al. 2013) and rfcv in randomForest.
