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 ).

Dear Researches, I am using RF (in regression way) for analize several metrics extract from image. I am tuning RF setting a loop using different range of mtry, tree and nodesize using the lower value of MSE-OOB mtry from 1 to 5 nodesize from1 to 10 tree from 1 to 500 using this paper as refery Palmer, D. S., O'Boyle, N. M., Glen, R. C., & Mitchell, J. B. O. (2007). Random Forest Models

Hi, dears, I am processing some data with 60 columns, and 286,730 rows. Most columns are numerical value, and some columns are categorical value. It turns out that: when ntree sets to the default value (500), it says "can not allocate a vector of 1.1 GB size"; And when I set ntree to be a very small number like 10, it will run for hours. I use the (x,y) rather than the (formula,data).

Dear All, I am using randomForest to predict the final selling price of some items. As it often happens, I have a lot of (noisy) historical data, but the question is not so much about data cleaning. The dataset for which I need to carry out some predictions are fairly recent sales or even some sales that will took place in the near future. As a consequence, historical data should be somehow

Hi all, When running a randomForest run using the following command: forestplas=randomForest(Prev~.,data=plas,ntree=200000) print(forestplas) I get the following result: Call: randomForest(formula = Prev ~ ., data = plas, ntree = 2e+05, importance = TRUE) Type of random forest: regression Number of trees: 2e+05 No. of variables tried at each split: 5

Hello, I'm trying to find out the optimal number of splits (mtry parameter) for a randomForest classification. The classification is binary and there are 32 explanatory variables (mostly factors with each up to 4 levels but also some numeric variables) and 575 cases. I've seen that although there are only 32 explanatory variables the best classification performance is reached when

Dear mailinglist members, I was wondering if there was a way to re-evaluate the instances of a tree (in the forest) again after I have manually changed a splitpoint (or split variable) of a decision node. Here's an illustration: library("randomForest") forest.rf <- randomForest(formula = Species ~ ., data = iris, do.trace = TRUE, ntree = 3, mtry = 2, norm.votes = FALSE) # I am

I'm attempting to pass a string argument into the function randomForest but I get an error: state <- paste(list("fruit ~", "apples+oranges+blueberries", "data=fruits.data, mtry=2, do.trace=100, na.action=na.omit, keep.forest=TRUE"), sep= " ", collapse="") model.rf <- randomForest(state) Error in if (n==0) stop ("data(x) has 0

Dear All, For a data mining project, I am relying heavily on the RandomForest and Party packages. Due to the large size of the data set, I have often memory problems (in particular with the Party package; RandomForest seems to use less memory). I really have two questions at this point 1) Please see how I am using the Party and RandomForest packages. Any comment is welcome and useful.

Greetings. I'm trying to determine whether to use rpart or randomForest for a classification tree. Has anybody tested efficacy formally? I've run both and the confusion matrix for rf beats rpart. I've looking at the rf help page and am unable to figure out how to extract the tree. But more than that I'm looking for a more comprehensive user's guide for randomForest including

I received this error Error in randomForest.default(m, y, ...) : Can not handle categorical predictors with more than 32 categories. using below code library(randomForest) library(MASS) memory.limit(size=12999) x <- read.csv("D:/train_store_title_view.csv", header=TRUE) x <- na.omit(x) set.seed(131) sales.rf <- randomForest(sales ~ ., data=x, mtry=3, importance=TRUE) My

hello, I want to use randomForest to classify a matrix which is 331030?42,the last column is class signal.I use ? Memebers.rf<-randomForest(class~.,data=Memebers,proximity=TRUE,mtry=6,ntree=200) which told me" the error is matrix(0,n,n) set too elements" then I use: Memebers.rf<-randomForest(class~.,data=Memebers,importance=TRUE,proximity=TRUE) which told me"the error is

Has anyone sucessfully used the maxnodes feature in randomForest? I tried setting it, but when it is non-NULL I always get back a forest in which all trees have size 1. I am using a continuous response (regression). Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi all, I am trying to play around with the randomForest function for classification. I know its performance is great. I am currently using the default options. It has many options. How do I further tweak the options so that I can make its performance even better? What are the options that are mostly used? Thanks a lot! M [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

When you have fairly large data, _do not use the formula interface_, as a couple of copies of the data would be made. Try simply: Myforest.rf <- randomForest(Mydata[, -46], Mydata[,46], ntrees=100, mtry=7) [Note that you don't need to set proximity (not proximities) or importance to FALSE, as that's the default already.] You might also want to use

Dear R-users, I have a problem with randomForest{outlier}. After running the following code ( that produces a silly data set and builds a model with randomForest ): ####################### library(randomForest) set.seed(0) ## build data set X <- rbind( matrix( runif(n=400,min=-1,max=1), ncol = 10 ) , rep(1,times= 10 ) ) Y <- matrix( nrow = nrow(X), ncol = 1) for( i in (1:nrow(X))){

For anyone who is knowledgeable about the randomForest package in R, I have a question: When I look at the variable importance for data, I see that 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) :

Muchas gracias Carlos, como siempre. Es raro que se me pasase. En su momento miré todos los argumentos del RF, como hago siempre, pero ese lo había olvidado. La verdad es que funcionaba estupendamente, pero me parecía extraño. Aunque dado que los RF no sobreajustan, no hay problema con que sus árboles sean todo lo grandes que quieras. Lo he testado con una base de datos externa y explica
