Train learner

Build the tree using parsnip with rpart as the model engine:

set.seed(123) 

titanic_train$Survived = as.factor(titanic_train$Survived)


ti_tree =
  decision_tree() %>%
  set_engine("rpart") %>%
  set_mode("classification") %>%
  fit(Survived ~ Pclass + Age, data = titanic_train)

Plot the model partitions

titanic_train %>%
  ggplot(aes(x=Pclass, y=Age)) +
  geom_jitter(aes(col=Survived), alpha=0.7) +
  geom_parttree(data = ti_tree, 
                aes(fill=Survived), alpha = 0.1) +
  theme_minimal()

Plot the tree

rpart.plot(ti_tree[["fit"]], 
           box.palette="RdBu", 
           shadow.col="gray", 
           nn=TRUE)

The recursive partitioning plot was designed by Grant McDermott. The tree plot is from the rpart.plot package written by Stephen Milborrow.
