Although this approach is known to be an efficient heuristic, the results of recursive tree methods are only locally optimal, as splits are chosen to maximize homogeneity at the next step only. An alternative way to search over the parameter space of trees is to use global optimization methods like evolutionary algorithms. The 'evtree' package implements an evolutionary algorithm for learning globally optimal classification and regression trees in R. CPU and memory-intensive tasks are fully computed in C++ while the 'partykit' package is leveraged to represent the resulting trees in R, providing unified infrastructure for summaries, visualizations, and predictions.https://github.com/r-universe/thomasgrubinger-svg/actions/runs/27126432378Sun, 26 May 2019 18:40:04 GMTevtree1.0-8successhttps://thomasgrubinger-svg.r-universe.devhttps://github.com/cran/evtreeevtree.Rnwevtree.pdfEvolutionary Learning of Globally Optimal Classification and Regression Trees in R2012-04-112019-05-26 18:40:04
