rpms_forest

formula containing all variables for partitioning

rp_equ

data.frame that includes variables used in rp_equ, e_equ, 
and design information

data

formula or vector of sample weights for each observation

weights

formula or vector of strata labels

strata

formula or vector of cluster labels

clusters

string name of function to use for modeling 
(only "survLm" is operational)

e_fn

l_fn

numeric minimum number of observations in each node

bin_size

integer specifying the number of trees in the forest

f_size

integer number of cores to use in parallel if &gt; 1 
(doesn't work with Windows operating systems)

cores

produces a random forest using rpms to create the individual
 trees.

Functions to allow users to build and analyze design consistent
tree and random forest models using survey data from a complex sample
design.  The tree model algorithm can fit a linear model to survey data
in each node obtained by recursively partitioning the data.  The splitting
variables and selected splits are obtained using a randomized permutation
test procedure which adjusted for complex sample design features used to
obtain the data. Likewise the model fitting algorithm produces
design-consistent coefficients to any specified least squares linear model
between the dependent and independent variables used in the end nodes.
The main functions return the resulting binary tree or random forest as
an object of "rpms" or "rpms_forest" type. The package also provides methods
modeling a "boosted" tree or forest model and a tree model for zero-inflated
data as well as a number of functions and methods available for use with
these object types.
