Regarding variable importance in the randomForest package
...at my response variable is included along with my predictor variables. That is, I am getting a MeanDecreaseGini for my response variable, and therefore it seems as though it is being treated as a predictor variable. my code (just in case it helps) : comm.RF<-randomForest(model.data,y=model.data$Comm_Heir,mtry=8,importance=T) Apologies if it's a stupid question, but I'm new to randomForests. Hopefully that makes sense and if anyone can let me know how remedy this situation, I would be so grateful. Cheers! [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
