What common measures exists for ranking/measuring variable importance of participating variables in a CART model? With respect to the second part of your question: And how can this be computed using R (for example, when using the rpart package) You can find the variable importance using rpart by using summary(fit).

Random Forest: varImp.randomForest and varImp.RandomForest are wrappers around the importance functions from the randomForest and party packages, respectively. Partial Least Squares: the variable importance measure here is based on weighted sums of the absolute regression coefficients. The weights are a function of the reduction of the sums of ...

For multi-class outcomes, the problem is decomposed into all pair-wise problems and the area under the curve is calculated for each class pair (i.e class ...

Details. For models that do not have corresponding varImp methods, see filterVarImp.. Otherwise: Linear Models: the absolute value of the t-statistic for each model parameter is used.. glmboost and glmnet: the absolute value of the coefficients corresponding the the tuned model are used..

It runs fine for me and the result of the call to varImp() produces the following, ordered most to least important: > varImp(modelFit) rpart variable importance Overall V5 100.000 V4 38.390 V3 38.362 V2 5.581 V1 0.000

I am using the Caret package in R for training logistic regression model for a binary classification problem. I have been able to get the results, accuracy, etc., but I also want the importance of the variables (in decreasing order of importance). I used varImp() function. But according to the documentation, the importance depends on the class :

I have trouble understanding the exact meaning of the feature importance scores in caret for RF regression. As you know there are many potential importance measures for RF. However, there is no clear ... rf variable importance Overall Petal.Length 48.51 Sepal.Width 23.67 Petal.Width 17.15 Please keep in mind that I am predicting sepal length ...

Calculate the variable importance of variables in a caretEnsemble. Description. This function wraps the varImp function in the caret package to provide a weighted estimate of the importance of variables in the ensembled models in a caretEnsemble object. Variable importance for each model is calculated and then averaged by the weight of the overall model in the ensembled object.

Here we have (as expected) an importance score per variable. The help pages from caret do not document very clearly this behavior, and furthermore, they say that caret::varImp() is only a wrapper for randomForest::importance(), which is clearly not true (as noted in another post). So, what are the importance scores from caret? And theoretically ...

A variable control chart might track the actual diameter measurements of machined parts (29.97mm, 30.02mm, 29.98mm) An attribute chart would simply count how many parts fall outside acceptable limits; This distinction makes variable control charts more sensitive to process changes and typically requires smaller sample sizes to detect shifts.

$\begingroup$ For illustration, the variable importance score for var2 was calculated by (873-273)/(1021-273) = 80. because the lowest %IncMSE value (var3 score = 273) must be subtracted from all other scores. $\endgroup$

I'm using caret's train() function for a binary classification outcome with different models (nb, knn, lda, qda, glm, rpart, rf). ... Various, & rather disparate, metrics can answer to the name of variable importance - so I think you need to explain what you want to get from "variable importance" in your particular application.
