exportCubistFiles function

Export Cubist Information To the File System

For a fitted cubist object, text files consistent with the RuleQuest command-line version can be exported.

exportCubistFiles(x, neighbors = 0, path = getwd(), prefix = NULL)

Arguments

• x: a cubist() object
• neighbors: how many, if any, neighbors should be used to correct the model predictions
• path: the path to put the files
• prefix: a prefix (or "filestem") for creating files

Returns

No value is returned. Three files are written out.

Details

Using the RuleQuest specifications, model, names and data

files are created for use with the command-line version of the program.

Examples

library(mlbench)
data(BostonHousing)

mod1 <- cubist(x = BostonHousing[, -14], y = BostonHousing$medv)
exportCubistFiles(mod1, neighbors = 8, path = tempdir(), prefix = "BostonHousing")
