Dear R users,
I'm working with the rpart package and want to evaluate the performance of
user defined split functions.
I have some problems in understanding the meaning of the xval argument in
the two functions rpart.control and xpred.rpart. In the former it is defined
as the number of cross-validations while in the latter it is defined as the
number of cross-validation groups. If I am correct this means that for
xpred.rpart, xval denots the number V of one V-fold cross validation while
for rpart.control it denotes the number of times that the cross-validation
is performed. Am I right ? If so, how many subsets compose the learning
sample when performing one of the xval cross-validations ? Is it a 10-fold
cross-validation repeated xval=10 times ?
Thank you for your help
