Is there any way to call rpart
through python
(without using rpy2
or R
altogether)? If not, would anyone be interested in investing some time to create an rpart-python
package with me?

I'm sure there must be implementations of decision trees in python, but I'm not familiar with what has been done. I don't use python so I can't help you out. Sorry. Beth

The truth is that rpart
, is much superior to all of the Decision Tree implementations in python
. It produces better performing trees, without the need for preprocessing and also handles missing values.
That's why exposing it to python
would be an instant success. I could try it on my own but I'm missing is the C
part. If anyone you know would be interested in investing some time in this, I'm glad to contribute.
