Create a forest

This function is intended for advanced use cases in which users require detailed control of sampling algorithms and data structures. Minimal input validation and error checks are performed – users are responsible for providing the correct inputs. For tutorials on the "proper" usage of the stochtree's advanced workflow, we provide several vignettes at https://stochtree.ai/

Usage

createForest(
  num_trees,
  leaf_dimension = 1,
  is_leaf_constant = FALSE,
  is_exponentiated = FALSE
)

Arguments

num_trees

Number of trees in the forest

leaf_dimension

Dimensionality of the outcome model

is_leaf_constant

Whether leaf is constant

is_exponentiated

Whether forest predictions should be exponentiated before being returned

Value

Forest object

Examples

num_trees <- 100
leaf_dimension <- 2
is_leaf_constant <- FALSE
is_exponentiated <- FALSE
forest <- createForest(num_trees, leaf_dimension, is_leaf_constant, is_exponentiated)
