Other Options

Many options are available in R that are not exposed through Rattle.

The variable Rarg[]surrogatestyle sets how the selection process should select the best variable. If set to 1 variables with a large number of missing values are essentially penalised. Defaults to 0.

Include Missing This will set usesurrogate to 2 (the default). The behaviour here is to try each of the surrogates whenever the main variable has a missing value, but if all surrogates are also missing, then follow the path with the majority of cases.

???? This will set usesurrogate to 1. The behaviour here is to try each of the surrogates whenever the main variable has a missing value, but if all surrogates are also missing, then go no further.

Ignore Missing This will set usesurrogate to 0. The observation is not used any further in the tree building.

Max Surrogates: How many surrogate variables to keep at each node (default is 5)

Surrogate Style: Whether the surrogates are sorted by the correct number of classifications or by the percentage correct over the non-missing values.
