Consider the Gini index, classification error, and cross-entropy in a simple classification setting with two classes. Create a single plot that displays each of these quantities as a function of pˆm1. The xaxis should display pˆm1, ranging from 0 to 1, and the y-axis should display the value of the Gini index, classification error, and entropy.
gini=function(m1){
return(2*(m1*(1-m1)))
}
ent=function(m1){
m2=1-m1
return(-((m1*log(m1))+(m2*log(m2))))
}
classerr=function(m1){
m2=1-m1
return(1-max(m1,m2))
#return(min((1-m1),m1))
#return(m1)
}
err=seq(0,1,by=0.01)
c.err=sapply(err,classerr)
g=sapply(err,gini)
e=sapply(err,ent)
d=data.frame(Gini.Index=g,Cross.Entropy=e)
plot(err,c.err,type='l',col="red",xlab="m1",ylim=c(0,0.8),ylab="value")
matlines(err,d,col=c("green","blue"))

In the lab, a classification tree was applied to the Carseats data set after converting Sales into a qualitative response variable. Now we will seek to predict Sales using regression trees and related approaches, treating the response as a quantitative variable.
- Split the data set into a training set and a test set.
library(ISLR)
set.seed(1)
train <- sample(1:nrow(Carseats), nrow(Carseats) / 2)
Carseats.train <- Carseats[train, ]
Carseats.test <- Carseats[-train, ]
- Fit a regression tree to the training set. Plot the tree, and interpret the results. What test MSE do you obtain?
library(tree)
tree.carseats <- tree(Sales ~ ., data = Carseats.train)

- Use cross-validation in order to determine the optimal level of tree complexity. Does pruning the tree improve the test MSE?
- Use the bagging approach in order to analyze this data. What test MSE do you obtain? Use the importance() function to determine which variables are most important.

- Use random forests to analyze this data. What test MSE do you obtain? Use the importance() function to determine which variables are most important. Describe the effect of m, the number of variables considered at each split, on the error rate obtained.

- Create a training set containing a random sample of 800 observations, and a test set containing the remaining observations.
library(ISLR)
set.seed(1)
train = sample(dim(OJ)[1],800)
OJ.train = OJ[train,]
OJ.test = OJ[-train,]
- 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?
OJ.tree = tree(Purchase~., data=OJ.train)

- Produce a plot with tree size on the x-axis and cross-validated classification error rate on the y-axis.
plot(cv.OJ$size,cv.OJ$dev,type='b', xlab = "Tree size", ylab = "Deviance")
- Which tree size corresponds to the lowest cross-validated classification error rate?
7 node tree is the smallest tree with the lowest classification rate.
- 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.misclass(OJ.tree, best=5)
