Description
A bagging wrapper for multivariate adaptive regression
splines (MARS) via the earth
functionUsage
## S3 method for class 'formula':
bagEarth(formula, data = NULL, B = 50,
summary = mean, keepX = TRUE,
..., subset, weights, na.action = na.omit)
## S3 method for class 'default':
bagEarth(x, y, weights = NULL, B = 50,
summary = mean, keepX = TRUE, ...)
Arguments
formula
A formula of the form y ~ x1 + x2 + ...
x
matrix or data frame of 'x' values for examples.
y
matrix or data frame of numeric values outcomes.
weights
(case) weights for each example - if missing defaults to 1.
data
Data frame from which variables specified in 'formula' are
preferentially to be taken.
subset
An index vector specifying the cases to be used in the
training sample. (NOTE: If given, this argument must be
named.)
na.action
A function to specify the action to be taken if 'NA's are
found. The default action is for the procedure to fail. An
alternative is na.omit, which leads to rejection of cases
with missing values on any required variable. (N
B
the numebr of bootstrap samples
summary
a function with a single argument specifying how the bagged predictions should be summarized
keepX
a logical: should the original training data be kept?

Details
The function computes a Earth model for each bootstap sample.References
