Problem 3

Consider the Gini index, classification error, and entropy in a simple classification setting with two classes. Create a single plot that displays each of these quantities as a function of ˆpm1. The x-axis should display ˆpm1, ranging from 0 to 1, and the y-axis should display the value of the Gini index, classification error, and entropy.

Hint: In a setting with two classes, ˆpm1 = 1 − ˆpm2. You could make this plot by hand, but it will be much easier to make in R.

p = seq(0, 1, 0.01)
gini = p * (1 - p) * 2
entropy = -(p * log(p) + (1 - p) * log(1 - p))
class.err = 1 - pmax(p, 1 - p)
matplot(p, cbind(gini, entropy, class.err), col = c("blue", "red", "green"))

Problem 8

Problem 9

This problem involves the OJ data set which is part of the ISLR2 package.

(a) Create a training set containing a random sample of 800 observations, and a test set containing the remaining observations.

set.seed(1)
train = sample(nrow(OJ), 800)
OJtrain = OJ[train, ]
OJtest = OJ[-train, ]

(b) Fit a tree to the training data, with Purchase as the response and the other variables as predictors. Use the summary() function to produce summary statistics about the tree, and describe the results obtained. What is the training error rate? How many terminal nodes does the tree have?

tree.OJ = tree(Purchase ~ ., data = OJtrain)
summary(tree.OJ)
## 
## Classification tree:
## tree(formula = Purchase ~ ., data = OJtrain)
## Variables actually used in tree construction:
## [1] "LoyalCH"       "PriceDiff"     "SpecialCH"     "ListPriceDiff"
## [5] "PctDiscMM"    
## Number of terminal nodes:  9 
## Residual mean deviance:  0.7432 = 587.8 / 791 
## Misclassification error rate: 0.1588 = 127 / 800

5 variables were actually used in the tree construction. The training error rate is 0.1588. There are 9 terminal nodes on the tree.

(c) Type in the name of the tree object in order to get a detailed text output. Pick one of the terminal nodes, and interpret the information displayed.

Node 5. The splitting variable at this node is LoyalCH. It also shows that the splitting value of this node is 0.280875. There are 188 points in the sub-tree below this node. 55.9% of the observations take the value of MM and 44.1% of the observations take the value of CH.

(d) Create a plot of the tree, and interpret the results.

plot(tree.OJ)
text(tree.OJ, pretty = 0)

LoyalCH, PriceDiff, SpecialCH, PctDiscMMand ListPriceDiff are the most important variables.

(e) Predict the response on the test data, and produce a confusion matrix comparing the test labels to the predicted test labels. What is the test error rate?

pred.OJ= predict(tree.OJ, OJtest, type = "class")
confusionMatrix(OJtest$Purchase, pred.OJ)

## 

Test error rate is 0.1704

(f) Apply the cv.tree() function to the training set in order to determine the optimal tree size.

OJ.cv = cv.tree(tree.OJ, FUN = prune.misclass)
OJ.cv
## $size
## [1] 9 8 7 4 2 1
## 
## $dev
## [1] 150 150 149 158 172 315

## 
## $method
## [1] "misclass"
## 
## attr(,"class")
## [1] "prune"         "tree.sequence"

(g) Produce a plot with tree size on the x-axis and cross-validated classification error rate on the y-axis.

plot(OJ.cv$size, OJ.cv$dev, type = "b", xlab = "Tree Size", ylab = "cv classification error rate")

(h) Which tree size corresponds to the lowest cross-validated classification error rate?

Size of 7 has lowest cross-validation error.

(i) Produce a pruned tree corresponding to the optimal tree size obtained using cross-validation. If cross-validation does not lead to selection of a pruned tree, then create a pruned tree with five terminal nodes.

prune.OJ=prune.tree(tree.OJ,best=7)

(j) Compare the training error rates between the pruned and unpruned trees. Which is higher?

summary(prune.OJ)
## 
## Classification tree:
## snip.tree(tree = tree.OJ, nodes = c(10L, 4L))
## Variables actually used in tree construction:
## [1] "LoyalCH"       "PriceDiff"     "ListPriceDiff" "PctDiscMM"    
## Number of terminal nodes:  7 
## Residual mean deviance:  0.7748 = 614.4 / 793 
## Misclassification error rate: 0.1625 = 130 / 800

Training error rate is 0.1625, which is higher than unpruned trees.

(k) Compare the test error rates between the pruned and unpruned trees. Which is higher?
