MixRFb: Mixed Logistic Random Forest for Binary Data

In randel/MixRF: A Random-Forest-Based Approach for Imputing Clustered Incomplete Data

Description

Mixed Logistic Random Forest for Binary Data

Usage

MixRFb(Y, x, random, data, initialRandomEffects = 0, ErrorTolerance = 0.001,
  MaxIterations = 200, ErrorTolerance0 = 0.001, MaxIterations0 = 15,
  verbose = FALSE)

Arguments

Y	The outcome variable.
x	A formula string contains the predictors.
random	A string in lme4 format indicates the random effect model.
data	The data set as a data frame.
initialRandomEffects	The initial values for random effects.
ErrorTolerance	The tolerance for log-likelihood.
MaxIterations	The maximum iteration times for each run of PQL.
ErrorTolerance0	The tolerance for eta (penalized quasi-likelihood, PQL).
MaxIterations0	The maximum iteration times for PQL.
verbose	The option to monitor each run of PQL or not.

Value

A list contains the random forest, mixed model, and random effects. See the example below for the usage. A predict() function is also available below.
