[R] rpart usersplits

2012-01-30 Thread jcress410
I'm inspecting tests/usersplits.R in rpart, trying to get my head around how to pass data to the split function. I'm trying to instantiate a number of goodness measures which compare treatment vs control within splits. A simple example is difference-in-difference estimate of a candidate split,

I'm trying to figure out how to plot basic utility maximization results with R, Ideally I'd like to plot the value of u through x1,x2 space, so you can graph income / substitution effects easily... also, it'd be nice if I could put a linear budget constraint on the graph here's an example with

I may or may not have the most elegant solution to this problem, but if it were me, I would probably put them all in a list and then unique_matrix_list <- unique(list_of_matrix) # number of unique matricies: length(unique_matrix_list) # count the number of each matrix, for (m in unique_ma

I think the basic answer here is "package it", which I did a couple of times but found inconvenient if I was going to change the function fairly often, i've taken a different tact, just including custom functions when R starts, i wrote a function that runs when I start the R session, loading the f
