Decision Trees

This page shows how to build a decision tree with R.

> library("party")

> str(iris)
'data.frame': 150 obs. of 5 variables:
$ Sepal.Length: num 5.1 4.9 4.7 4.6 5 5.4 4.6 5 4.4 4.9 ...
$ Sepal.Width : num 3.5 3 3.2 3.1 3.6 3.9 3.4 3.4 2.9 3.1 ...
$ Petal.Length: num 1.4 1.4 1.3 1.5 1.4 1.7 1.4 1.5 1.4 1.5 ...
$ Petal.Width : num 0.2 0.2 0.2 0.2 0.2 0.4 0.3 0.2 0.2 0.1 ...
$ Species : Factor w/ 3 levels "setosa","versicolor",..: 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 ...

Call function ctree to build a decision tree. The first parameter is a formula, which defines a target variable and a list of independent variables.

> iris_ctree <- ctree(Species ~ Sepal.Length + Sepal.Width + Petal.Length + Petal.Width, data=iris)

> print(iris_ctree)

         Conditional inference tree with 4 terminal nodes

Response: Species
Inputs: Sepal.Length, Sepal.Width, Petal.Length, Petal.Width
Number of observations: 150

1) Petal.Length <= 1.9; criterion = 1, statistic = 140.264
2)* weights = 50
1) Petal.Length > 1.9
3) Petal.Width <= 1.7; criterion = 1, statistic = 67.894
    4) Petal.Length <= 4.8; criterion = 0.999, statistic = 13.865
      5)* weights = 46
    4) Petal.Length > 4.8
      6)* weights = 8
3) Petal.Width > 1.7
    7)* weights = 46

> plot(iris_ctree)

> plot(iris_ctree, type="simple")

More examples on decision trees with R and other data mining techniques can be found in my book "R and Data Mining: Examples and Case Studies", which is downloadable as a .PDF file at the link.
