Hello, Does anybody know if the outscale option of randomForest yields the standarized version of the outlier measure for each case? or the results are only the raw values. Also I have notice that this measure presents very high variability. I mean if I repeat the experiment I am getting very different values for this measure and it is hard to flag the outliers. This does not happen with two other

Subject: Eliminate repeated components from a vector X-Mailer: VM 7.00 under 21.4 (patch 6) "Common Lisp" XEmacs Lucid Reply-To: fjmolina at lbl.gov FCC: /home/f/.xemacs/mail/sent Does anyone know how I can eliminate repeated elements from a vector?

I was wandering if anybody ever tried to compare the classification accuracy of nnet to other (rpart, tree, bagging) models. From what I know, there is no reason to expect a significant difference in classification accuracy between these models, yet in my particular case I get about 10% error rate for tree, rpart and bagging model and 80% error rate for nnet, applied to the same data. Thanks.

Hello, I want to do feature selection for classification purpose (using lda). Can someone point me to any R package or S-plus package for this? Something like SFS or SFFS method would be useful for me. Thanks. Raj [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi all, I originally posted this to the bioconductor group, but maybe it's better suited to the r-help... I'm using som() to partition samples of gene expression data into clusters. The point is to classify control vs. experimental cases (sample clustering). The original matrix was 22283 x 8. The 8 samples have 4 controls and 4 experimentals. I transposed the matrix so that its dim

Dear All, I am finding trouble trying to guild a Wrapper using random forest to evaluate the subsets: I do: nombi <- make_Weka_filter("weka/filters/supervised/attribute/AttributeSelection") datbin<- nombi(gene ~., data=X1X2X4X5W, control =Weka_control( S=list("weka.attributeSelection.GeneticSearch"), E=list("weka.attributeSelection.WrapperSubsetEval"),B

Hey, I'm looking for a function which provides a supervised Fayyad & Irani discretization (MDL). I've already found RWeka which has such a function. But is there anything else? I'd prefer to use sth lighter in my own package. Regards, Peter

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

Hi there, I am interested in using R for machine learning (supervised classification). Currently, I have been investigating especially the rpart, tree, and randomForest package, and have achieved first results. are there any experiences, how the learned classificators could be used in e.g. C ? in other words, I want to "transfer" the learned predictor from R to C-code. for e.g. rpart,

Hi, I have a 1.000 observations with 10 attributes (of different types: numeric, dicotomic, categorical ecc..) and a measure M. I need to cluster these observations in order to assign a new observation (with the same 10 attributes but not the measure) to a cluster. I want to calculate for the new observation a measure as the average of the meausures M of the observations in the cluster

Dear all, I am using the "caret" Package for predictors selection with a randomForest model. The following is the train function: rfFit<- train(x=trainRatios, y=trainClass, method="rf", importance = TRUE, do.trace = 100, keep.inbag = TRUE, tuneGrid = grid, trControl=bootControl, scale = TRUE, metric = "ROC") I wanted to use ROC as the metric for variable

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 ).

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*

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",

Hello, I've tried to install randomForest on a Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron system. I've repeatedly rec'd the error: > install.packages("randomForest", dependencies = TRUE) ERROR: compiliation failed for package 'randomForest' ** Removing '/home/admuser/R/i486-pc-linux-gnu-library/2.6/randomForest' The downloaded packages are in

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

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 =

Hi, I have been using some code for multivariate random forests. The output from this code is a list object with all the same values as from randomForest, but the model object is, of course, not of the class randomForest. So, I was hoping to modify the code for predict.randomForest to work for predicting the multivariate model to new data. This is my first attempt at modifying code from a

Dear all, Does anybody can explain this: different results got when all the same parameters are used in the errorest() in library ipred, as the following? errorest(Species ~ ., data=iris, model=randomForest, estimator = "cv", est.para=control.errorest(k=3), mtry=2)$err [1] 0.03333333 > errorest(Species ~ ., data=iris, model=randomForest, estimator = "cv",

I am new to R and I'd like to use the randomForest package for my thesis (identifying important variables for more detailed analysis with other software). I have found extremely well written and helpful information on the usage of R. Unfortunately it seems to be very difficult to find similarly detailed tutorials for randomForest, and I just can't get it work with the information on
