Dear mailing list, I am using the cforest() method from the party package to train a randomForest with ten input parameters which sometimes contain "NA"s. The predicted variable is a binary decision. Building the tree works fine without warnings or error messages, but when using the predict() statement for validation, I run in an error: forest <- cforest(V31 ~ V1+V2+V3,

What is the function call interface for predict in the package party for cforest? I am looking at the documentation (the vignette) and ?cforest and from the examples I see that one can call the function predict on a cforest classifier. The method predict seems to be a method of the class RandomForest objects of which are returned by cforest. --------------------------- > cf.model =

I would like to build a forest of regression trees to see how well some covariates predict a response variable and to examine the importance of the covariates. I have a small number of covariates (8) and large number of records (27368). The response and all of the covariates are continuous variables. A cursory examination of the covariates does not suggest they are correlated in a simple fashion

Greetings! I'm trying to use function varimpAUC in the party package (party_1.0-3 released September 26th of this year). Unfortunately, I get the following error message: > data.cforest.varimp <- varimpAUC(data.cforest, conditional = TRUE) Error: could not find function "varimpAUC" Was this function NOT included in the Windows binary I downloaded and installed? Could someone

Dear all: I¡¯m trying to get unbiased feature importance of my data via package ¡°party¡±, which contains 1-5 integer value, and a few numeric values attributes. The class label is 1-5 integer value as well. In total I have 20 features with 1100 observations. I checked the type my data in R using class(my_data_cell), no factor has been observed. I received a commond error like others did

Hi, I'm very new to R. I am most interested in the variable importance measures that result from randomForest, but many of my predictors are highly correlated. My first question is: 1. do highly correlated variables render variable importance measures in randomForest invalid? and 2. I know that cforest is robust to highly correlated variables, however, I do not have enough space on my

Dear useRs, Version 0.8-1 of the `party' package will appear on CRAN and its mirrors in due course. This version implements two new tools: o `mob', an object-oriented implementation of a recently suggested algorithm for model-based recursive partitioning (Zeileis, Hothorn, Hornik, 2005) has been added. It works out of the box for partitioning (generalized) linear

Hi, I am facing a hierarchically structured dataset, and I am not sure of the right way to analyses it with cforest, if their is one. - - BACKGROUND & PROBLEM We are analyzing the behavior of some social birds facing different temperature conditions. The behaviors of the birds were recorder during many sessions of 2 hours. Conditional RF (cforest) are quite useful for this analysis

Hello! I am not familiar to deal with S4 objects in R, so this question can be stupid, but I hope I can get an answer. :P I'm trying to extract what are the response and explanatory variables from a Binary Tree and Random Forest. I could already extract the response variable from a Binary Tree using the response method specified on documentation. But Random Forest didn't had a similar

Hi all, I have just installed R 2.13.0 and I am experiencing problems with the terminal, but not the with the GUI interface. I am Windows 7. When running "R" or "Rterm" from a commandline I receive the following: Warning message: In normalizePath(path.expand(path), winslash, mustWork) : path[3]="C:/Programmer/R/R-2.13.0/library": Adgang n?gtet R version 2.13.0

I am just starting to experiment with the party package and I am getting strange results. In the examples, the "statistic" and "criterion" seem related, i.e. criterion is a 1-p.value and statistic is the test statistic. Higher statistics are associated with higher criteria values. When I run these models on my own dataset, the highest statistic ends up getting a 0.00

All -- I have been trying to work with the 'Party' package using R v2.15.1 and have cobbled together a (somewhat) functioning code from examples on the web. I need to run a series of unbiased, conditional, cForest tests on several subsets of data which I have made into a loop. The results ideally will be saved to an output file in matrix form. The two questions regarding the script in

Dear developers I get some strange crashes when 'cairoDevice' and 'tcltk' are both loaded in the same R vanilla session. When executing the following in that order require(relimp) require(cairoDevice) showData (iris) I get a crash with the following message (see R-relimp-cairoDevice.txt): The program 'R' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in

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.
