How To Install r-cran-party on Debian 11
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install r-cran-party on Debian 11.
What is r-cran-party
r-cran-party is:
A computational toolbox for recursive partitioning. The core of the package is ctree(), an implementation of conditional inference trees which embed tree-structured regression models into a well defined theory of conditional inference procedures. This non-parametric class of regression trees is applicable to all kinds of regression problems, including nominal, ordinal, numeric, censored as well as multivariate response variables and arbitrary measurement scales of the covariates. Based on conditional inference trees, cforest() provides an implementation of Breiman’s random forests. The function mob() implements an algorithm for recursive partitioning based on parametric models (e.g. linear models, GLMs or survival regression) employing parameter instability tests for split selection. Extensible functionality for visualizing tree-structured regression models is available. The methods are described in Hothorn et al. (2006) doi:10.1198/106186006X133933, Zeileis et al. (2008) doi:10.1198/106186008X319331 and Strobl et al. (2007) doi:10.1186/1471-2105-8-25.
