Arguments

x

a model object, list or terms

newdata

for pamr.train and superpc.train: the training data

threshold

for pamr.train and superpc.train: the feature selection threshold

n.components

for superpc.train: the number of PCA components used

surrogate

a logical for rpart, ipredbagg, ctree and c

...

not currently used

Value

• a character string of predictors or NA.

Details

For randomForest, cforest, ctree, rpart, ipredbagg, bagging, earth, fda, pamr.train, superpc.train, bagEarth and bagFDA, an attempt was made to report the predictors that were actually used in the final model.

In cases where the predictors cannot be determined, NA is returned. For example, nnet may retrun missing values form predictors.
