Dear List, I would greatly appreciate help on the following matter: The RuleFit program of Professor Friedman uses partial dependence plots to explore the effect of an explanatory variable on the response variable, after accounting for the average effects of the other variables. The plot method

They are entirely different: Rulefit is a fiendishly clever combination of decision tree formulation of models and L1-regularization intended to select parsimonious fits to very complicated responses yielding e.g. piecewise constant functions. Rulefit estimates the conditional mean of
