20.69 The Original C5.0 Implementation

The (Kuhn and Quinlan 2021) package interfaces the original C code of the C5.0 implementation by Ross Quinlan, the developer of the decision tree induction algorithm.

library(C50)
model <- C5.0(form, ds[tr, vars])
model
## 
## Call:
## C5.0.formula(formula = form, data = ds[tr, vars])
## 
## Classification Tree
## Number of samples: 123722 
## Number of predictors: 20 
## 
## Tree size: 845 
## 
## Non-standard options: attempt to group attributes
C5imp(model)

% DONT EVAL YET - SEEMS TO BE TAKING LONG TIME

plot(model)

I am not aware of any converter from a C5.0 tree to an rpart tree and so fancyRpartPlot() will not be useful here.
