difference from original implementation?

[AlJohri]

hi @Zelazny7, I'm looking into rulefit and came across your repository. I was wondering what differences you have compared to the original 2012 implementation here: http://statweb.stanford.edu/~jhf/r-rulefit/rulefit3/rulefit.r
http://statweb.stanford.edu/~jhf/R_RuleFit.html

thanks!

I didn't follow a particular paper for this implementation, but rather a guiding principle of turning a tree ensemble into a set of binary rules and fitting them with LASSO regression. I'm not sure what the specific differences are with the other implementations. Mine depends only on R, though, and can output the fit model in a couple different languages.

Cool thanks!

For anyone else that finds this issue from Google, in addition to the original implementation above I was looking at these two others:

• https://github.com/marjoleinF/pre
• https://github.com/holub008/xrf

I'll have to try them out
