plot.gg_minimal_depth: Plot a 'gg_minimal_depth' object for random forest variable...

In ehrlinger/ggRandomForests: Visually Exploring Random Forests

Plot a gg_minimal_depth object for random forest variable ranking.

Description

Plot a gg_minimal_depth object for random forest variable ranking.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'gg_minimal_depth'
plot(x, selection = FALSE, type = c("named", "rank"), lbls, ...)

Arguments

x	gg_minimal_depth object created from a rfsrc object
selection	should we restrict the plot to only include variables selected by the minimal depth criteria (boolean).
type	select type of y axis labels c("named","rank")
lbls	a vector of alternative variable names.
...	optional arguments passed to gg_minimal_depth

Value

ggplot object
