fscaret (version 0.8.6.3)

impCalc: impCalc

Description

impCalc function is designed to scale variable importance according to MSE and RMSE calculations. It also stores the raw MSE and RMSE derived from models. impCalc function shouldn't be used alone unless user has trained models from caret package in RData files.

Usage

impCalc(skel_outfile, xTest, yTest, lk_col,labelsFrame,with.labels)

Arguments

skel_outfile

Skeleton name of output file

xTest

Input vector of testing data set

yTest

Output vector of testing data set

lk_col

Number of columns of whole data set

labelsFrame

Labels to sort variable importance

with.labels

Pass with.labels argument. It is advised to ALWAYS use labels as in some cases VarImp returns importance in descending values. If you insist turning with.labels FALSE, then make sure data base contains pure data and you read it (read.csv) to data.frame wi

Details

impCalc function lists RData files in working directory assuming there are only models derived by caret. In a loop function loads models and tries to get the variable importance.
