决策树是以树的形式表示选择及其结果的图。图中的节点表示事件或选择，并且图的边缘表示决策规则或条件。它主要用于使用R的机器学习和数据挖掘应用程序。
决策树的使用的例子是 - 预测电子邮件是垃圾邮件或非垃圾邮件，预测肿瘤癌变，或者基于这些因素预测贷款的信用风险。通常，使用观测数据（也称为训练数据）来创建模型。然后使用一组验证数据来验证和改进模型。 R具有用于创建和可视化决策树的包。对于新的预测变量集合，我们使用此模型来确定R包“party”用于创建决策树。
安装R语言包
在R语言控制台中使用以下命令安装软件包。您还必须安装相关软件包（如果有）。
<pre class="result notranslate" style="margin: 15px 0px; padding: 10px 5px; position: relative; width: auto; max-width: 700px; box-sizing: border-box; display: block; line-height: 1.7; background: rgb(239, 239, 239); border-radius: 3px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Consolas, "Courier New", Courier, monospace; overflow-x: auto; border: 1px solid rgb(221, 221, 221); word-wrap: break-word !important; white-space: pre-wrap !important; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;">install.packages("party")
</pre>
“party”包具有用于创建和分析决策树的函数ctree()。
语法
在R中创建决策树的基本语法是 -
<pre class="result notranslate" style="margin: 15px 0px; padding: 10px 5px; position: relative; width: auto; max-width: 700px; box-sizing: border-box; display: block; line-height: 1.7; background: rgb(239, 239, 239); border-radius: 3px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Consolas, "Courier New", Courier, monospace; overflow-x: auto; border: 1px solid rgb(221, 221, 221); word-wrap: break-word !important; white-space: pre-wrap !important; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;">ctree(formula, data)
</pre>
以下是所使用的参数的描述 -
formula是描述预测变量和响应变量的公式。
data是所使用的数据集的名称。
输入数据
我们将使用名为readingSkills的R内置数据集来创建决策树。 它描述了某人的readingSkills的分数，如果我们知道变量“年龄”，“shoesize”，“分数”，以及该人是否为母语者。
这里是示例数据。
<pre class="prettyprint notranslate tryit" style="margin: 15px 0px; padding: 10px 5px; position: relative; width: auto; max-width: 700px; box-sizing: border-box; display: block; line-height: 1.7; background: rgb(239, 239, 239); border-radius: 3px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Consolas, "Courier New", Courier, monospace; overflow-x: auto; border: 1px solid rgb(221, 221, 221); word-wrap: break-word !important; white-space: pre-wrap !important; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;"># Load the party package. It will automatically load other dependent packages.
library(party)
Print some records from data set readingSkills.
print(head(readingSkills))
</pre>
当我们执行上面的代码，它产生以下结果及图表 -
<pre class="result notranslate" style="margin: 15px 0px; padding: 10px 5px; position: relative; width: auto; max-width: 700px; box-sizing: border-box; display: block; line-height: 1.7; background: rgb(239, 239, 239); border-radius: 3px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Consolas, "Courier New", Courier, monospace; overflow-x: auto; border: 1px solid rgb(221, 221, 221); word-wrap: break-word !important; white-space: pre-wrap !important; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;"> nativeSpeaker age shoeSize score

例
我们将使用ctree()函数创建决策树并查看其图形。
<pre class="prettyprint notranslate tryit" style="margin: 15px 0px; padding: 10px 5px; position: relative; width: auto; max-width: 700px; box-sizing: border-box; display: block; line-height: 1.7; background: rgb(239, 239, 239); border-radius: 3px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Consolas, "Courier New", Courier, monospace; overflow-x: auto; border: 1px solid rgb(221, 221, 221); word-wrap: break-word !important; white-space: pre-wrap !important; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;"># Load the party package. It will automatically load other dependent packages.
library(party)
Create the input data frame.
input.dat <- readingSkills[c(1:105),]
Give the chart file a name.
png(file = "decision_tree.png")
Create the tree.
output.tree <- ctree(
nativeSpeaker ~ age + shoeSize + score,
data = input.dat)
Plot the tree.
plot(output.tree)
Save the file.
dev.off()
</pre>
当我们执行上面的代码，它产生以下结果 -
<pre class="result notranslate" style="margin: 15px 0px; padding: 10px 5px; position: relative; width: auto; max-width: 700px; box-sizing: border-box; display: block; line-height: 1.7; background: rgb(239, 239, 239); border-radius: 3px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Consolas, "Courier New", Courier, monospace; overflow-x: auto; border: 1px solid rgb(221, 221, 221); word-wrap: break-word !important; white-space: pre-wrap !important; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;">null device
