Variable Importance Using The caret Package
نویسنده
چکیده
Variable importance evaluation functions can be separated into two groups: those that use the model information and those that do not. The advantage of using a model–based approach is that is more closely tied to the model performance and that it may be able to incorporate the correlation structure between the predictors into the importance calculation. Regardless of how the importance is calculated:

Chemically Aware Model Builder (camb): an R package for property and bioactivity modelling of small molecules
BACKGROUND In silico predictive models have proved to be valuable for the optimisation of compound potency, selectivity and safety profiles in the drug discovery process. RESULTS camb is an R package that provides an environment for the rapid generation of quantitative Structure-Property and Structure-Activity models for small molecules (including QSAR, QSPR, QSAM, PCM) and is aimed at both a...
متن کاملA tutorial on machine learning in educational science
Popularity of massive online open courses (MOOCs) allowed educational researchers to address problems which were not accessible few years ago. Although classical statistical techniques still apply, large datasets allow us to discover deeper patterns and to provide more accurate predictions of student’s behaviors and outcomes. The goal of this tutorial is to disseminate knowledge on elementary d...
متن کاملThe caret Package
To optimize tuning parameters of models, train can be used to fit many predictive models over a grid of parameters and return the “best” model (based on resampling statistics). See Table 1 for the models currently available. As an example, the multidrug resistance reversal (MDRR) agent data is used to determine a predictive model for the“ability of a compound to reverse a leukemia cell’s resist...
متن کاملDo we need hundreds of classifiers to solve real world classification problems?
We evaluate 179 classifiers arising from 17 families (discriminant analysis, Bayesian, neural networks, support vector machines, decision trees, rule-based classifiers, boosting, bagging, stacking, random forests and other ensembles, generalized linear models, nearestneighbors, partial least squares and principal component regression, logistic and multinomial regression, multiple adaptive regre...
متن کاملHybrid and First-Order Complete Extensions of CaRet
We investigate the hybrid extension of CaRet, denoted HyCaRet, obtained by adding the standard existential binder operator ∃. We show that the one variable fragment 1-HyCaRet of HyCaRet is expressively complete for the firstorder logic FOμ which extends FO over words with a binary matching predicate. While all the known FOμ-complete and elementary extensions of CaRet can be linearly translated ...
