Exercise3: My first model
- Install the caret package
- Install the ranger package
- Install the tree package
Decision trees
- Split your data into a training and testing set with
caret::createDataPartition()
. The training set should inherit 60% of the data. The testing set the other 40% accoringly. - Train a decision tree with
tree::tree()
using your training set. - Plot the decision tree. You have to use both
plot(model)
andtext(model)
to get a plot.
Random forest
Now we train many more trees: a random forest.
- Train a random forest model with
ranger::ranger()
using your training set. - Predict the mean vegetation height on your testing set.
- Create a scatterplot with the actual mean vegetation height on the x-axis and the predicted mean vegetation height on the y-axis.
