randexprTypedGrow: Creates an R expression by random growth respecting type constraints

Description

Creates a random R expression by randomly growing its tree. In each step of growth, with probability subtreeprob, an operator is chosen from the function set funcset. The operands are then generated by recursive calls. If no function of matching range type exists, a terminal (constant or input variable) will be generated instead. If no subtree is generated, a constant will be generated with probability constprob. If no constant is generated, an input variable will be chosen randomly. The depth of the resulting expression trees can be bounded by the maxdepth parameter. In contrast to randexprGrow, this function respects sTypes of functions, input variables, and constant factories. Only well-typed expressions are created. randexprTypedFull creates a random full expression tree of depth maxdepth, respecting type constraints.

Usage

randexprTypedGrow(type, funcset, inset, conset, maxdepth = 8, constprob = 0.2, subtreeprob = 0.5, curdepth = 1)
randexprTypedFull(type, funcset, inset, conset, maxdepth = 8, constprob = 0.2)

Arguments

type
The (range) type the created expression should have.
funcset
The function set.
inset
The set of input variables.
conset
The set of constant factories.
maxdepth
The maximum expression tree depth.
constprob
The probability of generating a constant in a step of growth, if no subtree is generated. If neither a subtree nor a constant is generated, a randomly chosen input variable will be generated. Defaults to 0.2.
subtreeprob
The probability of generating a subtree in a step of growth.
curdepth
(internal) The depth of the random expression currently generated, used internally in recursive calls.

Value

A new R expression generated by random growth.
