Plot Subsampled VIMP Confidence Intervals
Plots VIMP (variable importance) confidence regions obtained from subsampling a forest.
## S3 method for class 'rfsrc' plot.subsample(x, alpha = .01, standardize = TRUE, normal = TRUE, jknife = TRUE, target, m.target = NULL, pmax = 75, main = "", ...)
x |
An object obtained from calling |
alpha |
Desired level of significance. |
standardize |
Standardize VIMP? For regression families, VIMP is standardized by dividing by the variance and then multipled by 100. For all other families, VIMP is scaled by 100. |
normal |
Use parametric normal confidence regions or nonparametric regions? Generally, parametric regions perform better. |
jknife |
Use the delete-d jackknife variance estimator? |
target |
For classification families, an integer or
character value specifying the class VIMP will be conditioned on
(default is to use unconditional VIMP).
For competing risk families, an integer value between
1 and |
m.target |
Character value for multivariate families specifying the target outcome to be used. If left unspecified, the algorithm will choose a default target. |
pmax |
Trims the data to this number of variables (sorted by VIMP). |
main |
Title used for plot. |

Most of the options used by the R function bxp will work here and can be used for customization of plots. Currently the following parameters will work:
"xaxt", "yaxt", "las", "cex.axis", "col.axis", "cex.main", "col.main", "sub", "cex.sub", "col.sub", "ylab", "cex.lab", "col.lab"
