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 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

Just browsing the documentation, and searching the list came up short... I have some unbalance data and was wondering if, in a "0" v "1" classification forest, if these options might yield better predictions when the proportion of one class is low (less than 10% in a sample of 2,000 observations). Not sure how to specify these terms... from the docs, we have: classwt: Priors

I would like to ask a general question about the randomForest predict function and how it handles No Data values. I understand that you can omit No Data values while developing the randomForest object, but how does it handle No Data in the prediction phase? I would like the output to be NA if any (not just all) of the input data have an NA value. It is not clear to me if this is the default or

Hi, I would like to visualize a tree extracted from a random forest using getTree {randomForest}. I'm wondering if there is any way to do it directly or to convert my tree to any other class of tree repesentation, which then can be plotted?

In trying to execute this line in R (Version 1.7.1 (2003-06-16), under windows XP pro), with the randomForest library (about two weeks old) loaded, the program crashed: bost4rf <- rfImpute(TargetDensity~.,data=bost4rf0) Specifically, an XP dialog box popped up, saying ?R for windows GUI front-end has encountered a problem and needs to close.? That was the dialog saying asking whether I

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

How do I read/interpret the output of varImpPlot() for a randomForest object? Regards, Divya -------------------------------------------------------- [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear all, Can I get the leave-one-out cross validation error of randomForest in R? I only found tune(), which got the 10-fold cross validation error. Thanks for any information. Xin LIU This e-mail is from ArraDx Ltd The e-mail and any files transmitted with it are confidentia...{{dropped}}

I tried to use RF build a model with a continuous variable as the dependent. However, whenever I ran it, R just crashed. But when I catigorize the dependent variable as a binary variable and ran the same model again. It just works. Is there anyone who can help me out? I really appreciate it.

hi, dear all, does anyboby have an simple example of classification by using randomForest? Thanks a lot! best assicma

Hi, I am new here. I would like to compare the performance of the random forest model with support vector machine. Can anybody let me know how to generate a ROC curve for random forest model since there is no need to run the cross-validation. Thank you very much!

Hi guys, I'm new to Random Forest package and I'd like to know what type of split is used in the package for classification? Or can I configure the package to use different split type (like simple split alongside single attribute axis or linear split based on several attributes etc..) Thanks a lot!

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

Hi, I'm using the package randomForest to generate a classifier for the exemplary iris data set: data(iris) iris.rf<-randomForest(Species~.,iris) Is it possible to print all decision trees in the generated forest? If so, can the trees be also written to disk? What I actually need is to translate the decision trees in a random forest into equivalent C++ if-then-else constructs to

I used the following command to train a randomForest model train.rf <- randomForest(grp ~ ., data=tr, ntree=100, mtry=50) My question is how to save the trained model so that it can be loaded later for testing new samples? Thanks, Luk --------------------------------- [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Several ways: 1. Read ?randomForest, especially the `Value' section. 2. Look at str(myforest.rf). 3. Look at print.randomForest. If the forest has 100 trees, then the mse and rsq are vectors with 100 elements each, the i-th element being the mse (or rsq) of the forest consisting of the first i trees. So the last element is the mse (or rsq) of the whole forest. HTH, Andy > From: David

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 trying to model a dataset with the response variable Y, which has 6 levels { Great, Greater, Greatest, Weak, Weaker, Weakest}, and predictor variables X, with continuous and factor variables using random forests in R. The variable Y acts like an ordinal variable, but I recoded it as factor variable. I ran a simulation and got OOB estimate of error rate 60%. I validated against some
