Puzzled at rpart prediction
I'm in a situation where I say:
predict(m.rpart, newdata=D[N1+t,])
0 1 173 0.8 0.2 which I interpret as meaning: an 80% chance of "0" and a 20% chance of "1". Okay. This is consistent with:
predict(m.rpart, newdata=D[N1+t,], type="class")
[1] 0 Levels: 0 1 But I'm puzzled at the following. If I say:
predict(m.rpart, newdata=D[N1+t,], type="vector")
173 1 What gives? I will be happy to packup a runnable demonstration for any of you, but I wondered if it was just my lack of knowledge about "type" in predict.rpart; wondered if there was a simple and logical explanation.
