RF Variable Importance for Arbitrary Measures

v0.4 · May 23, 2020 · GPL-3

Description

Computes the random forest variable importance (VIMP) for the conditional inference random forest (cforest) of the 'party' package. Includes a function (varImp) that computes the VIMP for arbitrary measures from the 'measures' package. For calculating the VIMP regarding the measures accuracy and AUC two extra functions exist (varImpACC and varImpAUC).
