similar to: Question on RandomForest in unsupervised mode

Dear all, I am trying to calculate the proximity matrix for a data set with 16 variables and 6804 observations using random forests. I have a Pentium 4, 3.00GHz processor with 1 GB of RAM. When I use the command randomForest(data.scale,proximity=T) I get the warning message Error: cannot allocate vector of size 361675 kb Is this because I have reached the limit of what my computer is

Hi I am new to R, randomForest and I have read about how to use it in your old mails. I have also run the predictions examples from CRAN. But I still don't understand how to use it right. The thing that I don't understand is how to run the result from the randomForest on one line (post) with newdata to get a good guess. What I mean is if I put in a new observation of iris how do I

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

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

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

The link from http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/PACKAGES.html#randomForest seems to be broken.

Dear all , I would like to use the function randomForest to predict the probability of relocation failure of a GPS collar as a function of several environmental variables x (both factor and numeric: slope, vegetation, etc.) on a given area. The response variable y is thus success (0)/failure(1) of the relocation, and the sampling unit is the pixel of a raster map. My aim is to build a map

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

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 <-

Dear R users, I've just released a new version of randomForest (available on CRAN now). This version contained quite a number of new features and bug fixes, compared to version prior to 4.0-x (and few more since 4.0-1). For those not familiar with randomForest, it's an ensemble classifier/regression tool. Please see http://www.math.usu.edu/~adele/forests/ for more detailed information,

I've built two RF objects (RF1 and RF2) and have tried to combine them, but I get the following error: Error in rf$votes + ifelse(is.na(rflist[[i]]$votes), 0, rflist[[i]]$votes) : non-conformable arrays In addition: Warning message: In rf$oob.times + rflist[[i]]$oob.times : longer object length is not a multiple of shorter object length Both RF models use the same variables, although

A few days ago I asked whether there were options other than na.action=na.fail for the R port of Breiman?s randomForest; the function?s help page did not say anything about other options. I have since discovered that a pdf document called ?The randomForest Package? and made available by Andy Liaw (who made the tool available in R---thank you) does discuss an option. It is an implementation of

I have a question on the output generated by randomForest in classification mode, specifically, the confusion matrix. The confusion matrix lists the various classes and how the forest classified each one, plus the classification error. Are these numbers essentially averages over all the trees in the forest? If so, is there a way I can get the standard deviation values out of the randomForest,

I try to use ?randomForest to find variables that are the most important to divide my dataset (continuous, categorical variables) in two given groups. But when I plot the outliers: plot(outlier(FemMalSex_NAavoid88.rf33, cls=FemMalSex_NAavoid88$Sex), type="h",col=c("red","green")[as.numeric(FemMalSex_NAavoid88$Sex)]) it seems to me that all my values appear as

Sorry for the long post but I know trying to decide on hardware often want to see details about what people are using. I have the following AS-2022G-URF machine running OpenGaryIndiana[1] that I am starting to use. I successfully transferred a deduped zpool with 1.x TB of files and 60 or so zfs filesystems using mbuffer from an old 134 system with 6 drives - it ran at about 50MB/s or

Hi, everyone, I haven't found anything similar in the forum, so here's my problem (I'm no expert in R nor statistics): I have a data set of 59.000 cases with 9 variables each (fractional coverage of 9 different plant types, such as deciduous broad-leaved temperate trees or evergreen tropical trees etc.), which was generated by a vegetation model. In order to evaluate the quality of

I've been using the R package randomForest but there is an aspect I cannot work out the meaning of. After calling the randomForest function, the returned object contains an element called prediction, which is the prediction obtained using all the trees (at least that's my understanding). I've checked that this prediction set has the error rate as reported by err.rate. However, if I
