get_var_props_over_chain {bartMachine}

Get the Variable Inclusion Proportions

Description

Computes the variable inclusion proportions for a BART model.

Usage

get_var_props_over_chain(bart_machine, type = "splits")

Arguments

bart_machine

An object of class “bartMachine”.

type

If “splits”, then the proportion of times each variable is chosen for a splitting rule versus all splitting rules is computed. If “trees”, then the proportion of times each variable appears in a tree versus all appearances of variables in trees is computed.

Value

Returns a vector of the variable inclusion proportions.
