tidyrules converts texual rules from models to dataframes with parseable rules. Supported models are: C5, cubist and rpart.

Example

library(tidyrules)
model_c5 = C50::C5.0(Species ~ ., data = iris, rules = TRUE)
summary(model_c5)
#> 
#> Call:
#> C5.0.formula(formula = Species ~ ., data = iris, rules = TRUE)

#> Rule 2: (48/1, lift 2.9)
#>  Petal.Length > 1.9
#>  Petal.Length <= 4.9
#>  Petal.Width <= 1.7
#>  ->  class versicolor  [0.960]
#> 
#> Rule 3: (46/1, lift 2.9)
#>  Petal.Width > 1.7
#>  ->  class virginica  [0.958]
#> 
#> Rule 4: (46/2, lift 2.8)
#>  Petal.Length > 4.9
#>  ->  class virginica  [0.938]
#> 
#> Default class: setosa
