R help - Jun 2015 - Random Forest -

Hi
I wanted to know if I cn use Random Forest in R for time to event data. I
cannot use Random Survival Forest since my data is not censored. Any
suggestions.

Thanks
Azi

I'm not sure why that should be a problem for RandomSurvivalForests.
It's not a problem for regular survival analysis.

 If you used RandomForest with time to event as the outcome without dividing by
for the number at risk in time intervals from start, you would be applying a
different metric for risk.
