Hello, I am struggling to produce an MDS plot using the randomForest package with a moderately large data set. My data set has one categorical response variables, 7 predictor variables and just under 19000 observations. That means my proximity matrix is approximately 133000 by 133000 which is quite large. To train a random forest on this large a dataset I have to use my institutions high

Hi, I'm trying to make a partial plot with package randomForest in R. After I perform my random forest object I type partialPlot(data.rforest, pred.data=act2, x.var=centroid, "C") where data.rforest is my randomforest object, act2 is the original dataset, centroid is one of the predictor and C is one of the classes in my response variable. Whatever predictor or response class I

Hi I am new to R so I apologize if this is trivial. I am trying to predict the resistance or susceptibility of my sequences to a certain drug with a randomForest function from a file with amino acids on each of the positions in the protein. I ran the following: > library(randomForest) > > path <- "C:\\..." > path2 <- "..." > name <-

Hi I am trying to use randomForest for classification. I am using this code: > set.seed(71) > rf.model <- randomForest(similarity ~ ., data=set1[1:100,], importance=TRUE, proximity=TRUE) Warning message: The response has five or fewer unique values. Are you sure you want to do regression? in: randomForest.default(m, y, ...) > rf.model Call: randomForest(x = similarity ~ .,

Hi, I'm experimenting with random forests and want to perform a binary classification task. I've tried some of the sample codes in the help files and things run, but I get a message to the effect 'you don't have very many unique values in the target - are you sure you want to do regression?' (sorry, don't know exact message but r is busy now so can't check). In

Dear all, Version 4.3-0 of the randomForest package is now available on CRAN (in source; binaries will follow in due course). There are some interface changes and a few new features, as well as bug fixes. For those who had used previous versions, the important things to note are: 1. there's a namespace now, and 2. some functions have been renamed. The list of changes since 4.0-7 (last

Hi all, We're using Rserve and RandomForest to do classification from within a Java program. The total is about 4 lines of R code: library('randomForest') x y future fit<-randomForest(x,y,no.action=na.roughfix,importance=T,proximity=T) p<-predict(fit, future) What is very frustrating is that we have tried this two different ways (both work in R): 1. Load x, y, and future

Dear R-users, While making a prediction using the randomForest function (package randomForest) I'm getting the following error message: "Error in predict.randomForest(model, newdata = CV) : No forest component in the object" Here's my complete code. For reproducing this task, please find my 2 data sets attached ( http://www.nabble.com/file/p17855119/data.rar data.rar ).

While trying to train randomForest with my dataset, I am ending up with the following error Error in randomForest.default(datatrain, classtrain) : length of response must be the same as predictors My data looks like: A,B,C,D,Class 1,2,1,2,cl1 1,2,1,2,cl1 3,2,1,2,cl2 3,2,1,2,cl2 3,2,1,2,cl2 3,2,1,2,cl2 3,2,1,2,cl2 3,2,1,2,cl2 3,2,1,2,cl2 3,2,12,3,cl2 3,2,1,2,cl2 Actual dataset has around 4000

Buenos días: Otra opción es escribir directamente el nombre de la función en la consola de R: > randomForest function (x, ...) UseMethod("randomForest") En este caso, la función randomForest() llama a UseMethod() para seleccionar el método adecuado. Podemos ver los métodos para randomForest con la función methods(): > methods(randomForest) [1] randomForest.default*

Dear list, I am trying to do a benchmark study for my case study. It is a regression problem. Among other models I use randomForest. Using the following code the result is around 0.628, and this make sense comparing with other methods. The Theil function implements Theil's U statistic. I do not present the definition of some variables because it is not important to understand my problem.

Hi, I attempted to run the randomForest() function on a dataset without predefined classes. According to the manual, running randomForest without a response variable/class labels should result in the function assuming you are running in unsupervised mode. In this case, I understand that my data is all assigned to one class whereas a second synthetic class is made up, which is assigned

I'm trying to do: randomForest(f, data = moths.train) But I get this error: Error in randomForest.default(m, y, ...) : Need at least two classes to do classification. When I look at the data for this, I realize there are no positive cases of this item: [1] 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 [38] 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

The `1' and `2' columns are the error rates within those classes. E.g., the last row of the `1' column should correspond to the class.error for "-", and the last row of the `2' column to the class.error for "+". (I would have thought that that should be fairly obvious, but I guess not. It mimics what Breiman and Cutler's Fortran code does.) I suspect

Hi there, We're trying to use randomForest to do some predictions. The test-harness for our code is pretty straightforward: library ('randomForest'); data202 <- read.csv ("random.csv", header=TRUE); x<- data202[1:50000,1:6]; y<- data202[1:50000,8]; y<- y[,drop=TRUE]; x2 <- data202[50001:60000,1:6]; y2 <- data202[50001:60000,8]; y2 <-

I getting "Error in matrix(0, n, n) : too many elements specified" while building randomForest model, which looks like memory allocation error. Software versions are: randomForest 4.5-25, R version 2.7.1 Dataset is big (~90K rows, ~200 columns), but this is on a big machine ( ~120G RAM) and I call randomForest like this: randomForest(x,y) i.e. in supervised mode and not requesting

Hello I'd like to try out some functions in the package randomForest. Therefore, I did install this package. However, it is not possible to load the library, although I have R-Version 2.1.1 (i.e. later than 2.0.0). The commands I used and the Answers/Error from R is as follows: > install.packages("C://Programme//R//rw2011//library//randomForest_4.5-16.zip",

I have search the help archives and can't find a direct reference to the following issue: When installing randomForest on under CentOS 5.2 , R version 2.7.1 with gcc 4.1.2. We receive the following error (see below, can't find –lg2c) it is in the path! root@abcsci12 ~]# R CMD INSTALL /scisys/home/yanicrk/randomForest_4.5-28.tar.gz * Installing to library

Just out of curiosity, I took the default "iris" example in the RF helpfile... but seeing the admonition against using the formula interface for large data sets, I wanted to play around a bit to see how the various options affected the output. Found something interesting I couldn't find documentation for... Just like the example... > set.seed(12) # to be sure I have
