var_depth {DynForest}

Extract characteristics from the trees building process

Description

Extract characteristics from the trees building process

Usage

var_depth(DynForest_obj)

Arguments

DynForest_obj

DynForest object

Value

var_depth function return a list with the following elements:

min_depth	A table providing for each feature in row: the average depth and the rank
var_node_depth	A table providing for each tree in column the minimal depth for each feature in row. NA indicates that the feature was not used for the corresponding tree
var_count	A table providing for each tree in column the number of times where the feature is used (in row). 0 value indicates that the feature was not used for the corresponding tree
