RWeka_CBA {arulesCBA} | R Documentation |
CBA classifiers based on rule-based classifiers in RWeka
Description
Provides CBA-type classifiers based on RIPPER (Cohen, 1995), C4.5 (Quinlan, 1993) and PART (Frank and Witten, 1998) using the implementation in Weka via RWeka (Hornik et al, 2009). These classifiers do not mine CARs, but directly create rules.
Usage
RIPPER_CBA(formula, data, control = NULL, disc.method = "mdlp")
PART_CBA(formula, data, control = NULL, disc.method = "mdlp")
C4.5_CBA(formula, data, control = NULL, disc.method = "mdlp")
Arguments
formula |
A symbolic description of the model to be fitted. Has to be
of form |
data |
A data.frame or arules::transactions containing the training data.
Data frames are automatically discretized and converted to transactions with
|
control |
algorithmic control options for R/Weka Rule learners (see Details Section). |
disc.method |
Discretization method used to discretize continuous
variables if data is a data.frame (default: |
Details
You need to install package RWeka to use these classifiers.
See R/Weka functions
RWeka::JRip()
(RIPPER),
RWeka::J48()
(C4.5 rules),
RWeka::PART()
for algorithm details and how control options can be passed on via
control
. An example is given in the Examples Section below.
Memory for RWeka can be increased using the R options (e.g.,
options(java.parameters = "-Xmx1024m")
) before RWeka or
rJava is loaded or any RWeka-based classifier in this package is used.
Value
Returns an object of class CBA representing the trained classifier.

Examples
# rJava and RWeka need to be installed
## Not run:
data("iris")
# learn a classifier using automatic default discretization
classifier <- RIPPER_CBA(Species ~ ., data = iris)
classifier
# inspect the rule base
inspect(classifier$rules)
# make predictions for the first few instances of iris
predict(classifier, head(iris))
table(predict(classifier, iris), iris$Species)
# C4.5
classifier <- C4.5_CBA(Species ~ ., iris)
inspect(classifier$rules)
# To use algorithmic options (here for PART), you need to load RWeka
library(RWeka)
# control options can be found using the Weka Option Wizard (WOW)
WOW(PART)
# build PART with control option U (Generate unpruned decision list) set to TRUE
classifier <- PART_CBA(Species ~ ., data = iris, control = RWeka::Weka_control(U = TRUE))
classifier
inspect(classifier$rules)
predict(classifier, head(iris))
