If the glmtree
is fitted with just an intercept then it can be coerced to a constant-fit tree (class constparty
). By default, the coefficients are shown to emphasize that a model is built in each leaf. But if there is just an intercept then it also makes sense to summarize the tree with a constant fitted proportion of the response.
Prepare the Titanic
data:
data("Titanic", package = "datasets")
ttnc <- as.data.frame(Titanic)
ttnc <- ttnc[rep(1:nrow(ttnc), ttnc$Freq), 1:4]
Fit a binomial GLM tree with just an intercept:
library("partykit")
tr <- glmtree(Survived ~ ., data = ttnc, family = binomial, alpha = 0.01)
Coercion to constparty
:
tr <- as.constparty(tr)
tr
## Model formula:
## Survived ~ 1 + (Class + Sex + Age)
##
## Fitted party:
## [1] root
## | [2] Sex in Male
## | | [3] Class in 1st: No (n = 180, err = 34.4%)
## | | [4] Class in 2nd, 3rd, Crew
## | | | [5] Age in Child
## | | | | [6] Class in 2nd: Yes (n = 11, err = 0.0%)
## | | | | [7] Class in 3rd: No (n = 48, err = 27.1%)
## | | | [8] Age in Adult
## | | | | [9] Class in 2nd, 3rd: No (n = 630, err = 14.1%)
## | | | | [10] Class in Crew: No (n = 862, err = 22.3%)
## | [11] Sex in Female
## | | [12] Class in 3rd: No (n = 196, err = 45.9%)
## | | [13] Class in 1st, 2nd, Crew: Yes (n = 274, err = 7.3%)
