Functions in BESTree (0.5.2)

BEST

Main function of the package. It produces Classification Trees with Branch-Exclusive variables.
TreePruning

Uses a Validation Set to select the best trees within the list of pruned trees.
VI

Produces a variable important analysis using the mean decrease in node impurity
BESTForest

Generates a random forest of BEST trees
MPredict

Classify a set of new observation points
BaggedBEST

Performs Bootstrap Aggregating of BEST trees
Fit

Data generated according to decision tree for simulation purposes
Data

Data generated according to decision tree for simulation purposes
Predict

Classify a new observation point
FPredict

Emits prediction from a forest of BEST's
Acc

Computes the proportion of matching terms in two vectors of the same length. Used to compute the accuracy for prediction on test set.
ForgeVA

Quickly build the Available Variable list necessary for BEST This list contains details as to which variables is available for the partitioning. It also contains which variables are gating variables.
