R help - May 2012 - Random Forest Classification_ForestCombination

Hello,

I am aware of the fact that the combine() function in the Random Forest package
of R is meant to combine forests built from the same training set, but is there
any way to combine trees built on different training sets? Both the training
datasets used contain the same variables and classes, but their sizes are
different.

Thanks

As long as you can remember that the summaries such as variable importance, OOB
predictions, and OOB error rates are not applicable, I think that should be
fine.
