21.19 Complexity Parameter

We can print a table of optimal prunings based on a complexity parameter using rpart::printcp(). The data is actually stored as model$cptable.

printcp(model)

## 
## Classification tree:
## rpart(formula = form, data = ds[tr, vars], model = TRUE)
## 
## Variables actually used in tree construction:
## [1] humidity_3pm    wind_gust_speed
