Am I not using rpart() right for classification? - r

I'm trying to do an example classification prediction with rpart() but for whatever reason it doesn't seem to be giving me the right predictions when I pass test data into a fitted tree.
library(rpart)
data.samples <- sample(1:nrow(cu.summary), nrow(cu.summary) * 0.7, replace = FALSE)
training.data <- cu.summary[data.samples, ]
test.data <- cu.summary[-data.samples, ]
fit <- rpart(
Type~Price + Country + Reliability + Mileage,
method="class",
data=training.data
)
fit.pruned<- prune(fit, cp=fit$cptable[which.min(fit$cptable[,"xerror"]),"CP"])
prediction <- predict(fit.pruned, test.data)
prediction
#table(prediction, test.data$Type)
This seems to give me everything except the classes I was trying to predict in the first place. Am I using a particular syntax wrong somewhere?

You must specify the type of prediction
predict(fit.pruned, test.data, type="class")

predict function with lasso regression

I am trying to implement lasso regression for my sales prediction problem. I am using glmnet package and cv.glmnet function to train the model.
library(glmnet)
set.seed(123)
model = cv.glmnet(as.matrix(x = train[, -which(names(train) %in% "Sales")]),
y = train$Sales,
alpha = 1,
lambda = 10^seq(4,-1,-0.1))
best_lambda = model$lambda.min
lasso_predictions_valid <- predict(model,s = best_lambda,type = "coefficients")
After I read few articles about implementing lasso regression I still don't know how to add my test data on which I want to apply the prediction. There is newx argument to be added to predict function that I do not know also. I mean in most regression types we have newdata or data argument that we fill our test data to it.
I think there is an error in your lasso_predictions_valid, you shouldn't put valid$sales as your newx, as I believe this is the actual sales number.
Once you have created the model with the train set, then for newx you need to pass matrix values of x that you want to make predictions on, I guess in this case it will be your validation set.
Looking at your example code above, I think your predict line should be something like:
lasso_predictions_valid <- predict(model, s = best_lambda,
newx = as.matrix(valid[, -which(names(valid) %in% "Sales")]),
type = "coefficients")
Then you should run your RMSE() line:
RMSE(lasso_predictions_valid, valid$Sales)

How do I use predict() on new data for lme4::glmer model?

I have been trying to establish predictive performance (AUC ROC) for a glmer model. When I try and use the predict() function on a test data set, the output for this function is the length of my train data set.
folds = 10;
glmerperf=rep(0,folds); glmperf=glmerperf;
TB_Train.glmer.subset <- TB_Train.glmer %>% select(one_of(subset.vars), IDNO)
TB_Train.glmer.fs <- TB_Train.glmer.subset[,c(1:7, 22)]
TB_Train.glmer.ns <- TB_Train.glmer.subset[, 8:21]
TB_Train.glmer.cns <- TB_Train.glmer.ns %>% scale(center=TRUE, scale=TRUE) %>% cbind(TB_Train.glmer.fs)
foldsamples = caret::createFolds(TB_Train.glmer.cns$Case.Status, k = folds, list = TRUE, returnTrain = FALSE)
for (n in 1:folds)
{
testdata = TB_Train.glmer.cns[foldsamples[[n]],]
traindata = TB_Train.glmer.cns[-foldsamples[[n]],]
GLMER <- lme4::glmer(Case.Status ~ . + (1 | IDNO), data = traindata, family="binomial", control=glmerControl(optimizer="bobyqa", optCtrl=list(maxfun=1000000)))
glmer.probs <- predict(GLMER, newdata=testdata$Non.TB.Case, type="response")
glmer.ROC <- roc(predictor=glmer.probs, response=testdata$Case.Status, levels=rev(levels(testdata$Case.Status)))
glmerperf[n] <- glmer.ROC$auc
}
prob <- predict(GLMER, newdata=TB_Test.glmer$Non.TB.Case, type="response", re.form=~(1|IDNO))
print(sprintf('Mean AUC ROC of model on test set for GLMER %f', mean(glmerperf)))
Both the prob and glmer.probs objects are the length of the traindata object, despite specifying the newdata argument. I have noticed issues with the predict function in the past, but none as specific as this one.
Also, when the model is run, I get several errors about needing to scale my data (which I already have) and that the model fails to converge. Any ideas on how to fix this? I have already bumped up the iterations and selected a new optimizer.
Figured out that error was arising from using the "." shortcut to specify all predictors for the model.

Probability predictions with model averaged Cumulative Link Mixed Models fitted with clmm in ordinal package

I found that the predict function is currently not implemented in cumulative link mixed models fitted using the clmm function in ordinal R package. While predict is implemented for clmm2 in the same package, I chose to apply clmm instead because the later allows for more than one random effects. Further, I also fitted several clmm models and performed model averaging using model.avg function in MuMIn package. Ideally, I want to predict probabilities using the average model. However, while MuMIn supports clmm models, predict will also not work with the average model.
Is there a way to hack the predict function so that the function not only could predict probabilities from a clmm model, but also predict using model averaged coefficients from clmm (i.e. object of class "averaging")? For example:
require(ordinal)
require(MuMIn)
mm1 <- clmm(SURENESS ~ PROD + (1|RESP) + (1|RESP:PROD), data = soup,
link = "probit", threshold = "equidistant")
## test random effect:
mm2 <- clmm(SURENESS ~ PROD + (1|RESP) + (1|RESP:PROD), data = soup,
link = "logistic", threshold = "equidistant")
#create a model selection object
mm.sel<-model.sel(mm1,mm2)
##perform a model average
mm.avg<-model.avg(mm.sel)
#create new data and predict
new.data<-soup
##predict with indivindual model
predict(mm1, new.data)
I got the following error message:
In UseMethod("predict") :
no applicable method for predict applied to an object of class "clmm"
##predict with model average
predict(mm.avg, new.data)
Another error is returned:
Error in predict.averaging(mm.avg, new.data) :
predict for models 'mm1' and 'mm2' caused errors
I've been using clmm as well and yes I confirm predict.clmm is NOT (yet?) implemented. I didn't yet check the source code for fake.predict.clmm. It might work. If it doesn't, you're stuck with doing stuff by hand or using predict.clmm2.
I found a potential solution (pasted below) but have not been able to make work for my data.
Solution here: https://gist.github.com/mainambui/c803aaf857e54a5c9089ea05f91473bc
I think the problem is the number of coefficients I am using but am not experienced enough to figure it out. Hopefully this helps someone out though.
This is the model and newdata that I am using, though it is actually a model averaged version. Same predictors though.
ma10 <- clmm(Location3 ~ Sex * Grass3 + Sex * Forb3 + (1|Tag_ID), data =
IP_all_dunes)
ma_1 <- model.avg(ma10, ma8, ma5)##top 3 models
new_ma<- data.frame(Sex = c("m","f","m","f","m","f","m","f"),
Grass3 = c("1","1","1","1","0","0","0","0"),
Forb3 = c("0","0","1","1","0","0","1","1"))
# Arguments:
# - model = a clmm model
# - modelAvg = a clmm model average (object of class averaging)
# - newdata = a dataframe of new data to apply the model to

fake.predict.clmm <- function(modelAvg, newdata) {
# Actual prediction function
pred <- function(eta, theta, cat = 1:(length(theta) + 1), inv.link = plogis) {
Theta <- c(-1000, theta, 1000)
sapply(cat, function(j) inv.link(Theta[j + 1] - eta) - inv.link(Theta[j] -
eta))
}
# Multiply each row by the coefficients
#coefs <- c(model$beta, unlist(model$ST))##turn off if a model average is used
beta <- modelAvg$coefficients[2,3:12]
coefs <- c(beta, unlist(modelAvg$ST))
xbetas <- sweep(newdata, MARGIN=2, coefs, `*`)
# Make predictions
Theta<-modelAvg$coefficients[2,1:2]
#pred.mat <- data.frame(pred(eta=rowSums(xbetas), theta=model$Theta))
pred.mat <- data.frame(pred(eta=rowSums(xbetas), theta=Theta))
#colnames(pred.mat) <- levels(model$model[,1])
a<-attr(modelAvg, "modelList")
colnames(pred.mat) <- levels(a[[1]]$model[,1])
pred.mat
}

GBM cross validation

I'm trying to use R's gbm regression model.
I want to compute the coefficient of determination (R squared) between the cross validation predicted response values and the true response values. However, the cv.fitted values of the gbm.object only provides the predicted response values for 1-train.fraction. So in order to get what I want I need to find which of the observations correspond to the cv.fitted values.
Any idea how to get that information?
You can use the predict function to easily get at model predictions, if I'm understanding your question correctly.
dat <- data.frame(y = runif(1000), x=rnorm(1000))
gbmMod <- gbm::gbm(y~x, data=dat, n.trees=5000, cv.folds=0)
summary(lm(predict(gbmMod, n.trees=5000) ~ dat$y))$adj.r.squared
But shouldn't we hold data to the side and assess model accuracy on test data? This would correspond to the following, where I partition the data into a training set (70%) and testing set (30%):
inds <- sample(1:nrow(dat), 0.7*nrow(dat))
train <- dat[inds, ]
test <- dat[-inds, ]
gbmMod2 <- gbm::gbm(y~x, data=train, n.trees=5000)
preds <- predict(gbmMod2, newdata = test, n.trees=5000)
summary(lm(preds ~ test[,1]))$adj.r.squared
It's also worth noting that the number of trees in the gbm can be tuned using the gbm.perf function and the cv.folds argument to the gbm function. This helps avoids overfitting.

predicting outcome with a model in R

I am trying to do a simple prediction, using linear regression
I have a data.frame where some of the items are missing price (and therefor noted NA).
This apperantely doesn't work:
#Simple LR
fit <- lm(Price ~ Par1 + Par2 + Par3, data=combi[!is.na(combi$Price),])
Prediction <- predict(fit, data=combi[is.na(combi$Price),]), OOB=TRUE, type = "response")
What should I put instead of data=combi[is.na(combi$Price),]) ?
Change data to newdata. Look at ?predict.lm to see what arguments predict can take. Additional arguments are ignored. So in your case data (and OOB) is ignored and the default is to return predictions on the training data.
Prediction <- predict(fit, newdata = combi[is.na(combi$Price),])
identical(predict(fit), predict(fit, data = combi[is.na(combi$Price),]))
## [1] TRUE
