forestviews: forestviews: visualise the paths through random forests.

Description

Description

Creates visualisations of all paths through the binary trees that constitute a random forest. Currently two types of visualisations are produced: parallel coordinates plots and Sankey diagrams. To create these visualisations supply the output of randomForest to rf_pathfinder then supply the output of rf_pathfinder to either rf_parcoor to produce a parallel coordinates style plot or rf_sankey to produce the network for a Sankey diagram. To display the Sankey diagram you need to supply the output of rf_sankey to the sankeyNetwork function from the networkD3 package. The examples on the help page for rf_sankey demonstate this process. A preprint of the manuscript that introduces the visualisation methods this package implements may be obtained from arXiv at https://arxiv.org/abs/1706.08702.
