Hi, I am having some trouble using R 2.13.1 for generating a pmml object of of class "c('randomForest.formula', 'randomForest')" I see that these methods are available: > methods(pmml) [1] pmml.coxph* pmml.hclust* pmml.itemsets* pmml.kmeans* pmml.ksvm* pmml.lm* pmml.multinom* pmml.nnet* pmml.rpart* [10] pmml.rsf* pmml.rules* pmml.survreg*

Hi, In R, how to do missing value replacement for test data in randome forest in the way Breiman decribed. thanks in advance iris

Hi All, I am looking for a reference that explains how the randomForest function in the randomForest package uses the classwt parameter. Here: http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/e4/help/08/05/12088.html Andy Liaw suggests not using classwt. And according to: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/R-help-with-RandomForest-classwt-option-td817149.html it has "not been implemented" as of 2007.

Hi, I had two questions regarding random forests for regression. 1) I have read the original paper by Breiman as well as a paper dicussing an application of random forests and it appears that the one of the nice features of this technique is good predictive ability. However I have some data with which I have generated a linear model using lm(). I can get an RMS error of 0.43 and an R^2 of

Hi all, There is now a package available on CRAN that provides an R interface to Leo Breiman's random forest classifier. Basically, random forest does the following: 1. Select ntree, the number of trees to grow, and mtry, a number no larger than number of variables. 2. For i = 1 to ntree: 3. Draw a bootstrap sample from the data. Call those not in the bootstrap sample the

Hi, I need help with the randomForest prediction. i run the folowing code: > iris.rf <- randomForest(Species ~ ., data=iris, > importance=TRUE,keep.forest=TRUE, proximity=TRUE) > pr<-predict(iris.rf,iris,predict.all=T) > iris.rf$votes[53,] setosa versicolor virginica 0.0000000 0.8074866 0.1925134 > table(pr$individual[53,])/500 versicolor virginica 0.928

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

now I am learining random forest and using random forest package, I can get the OOB error rates, and test set rate, now I want to get the training set error rate, how can I do? pgp.rf<-randomForest(x.tr,y.tr,x.ts,y.ts,ntree=1e3,keep.forest=FALSE,do.trace=1e2) using the code can get oob and test set error rate, if I replace x.ts and y.ts with x.tr and y.tr,respectively, is the error rate

I am trying to run a partialPlot with Random Forest (as I have done many times before). First I run my forest... Cell is a 6 level factor that is the dependent variable - all other variables are predictors, most of these are factors as well. predCell<-randomForest(x=tempdata[-match("Cell",names(tempdata))],y=tempdata$Cell,importance=T) Then I try my partial plot to look at the

Hi, i'm using randomForest package and i have 2 questions: 1. Can i drop one tree from an RF object? 2. i have a 300 trees forest, but when i use the predict function on new data (with predict.all=TRUE) i get only 270 votes. did i do something wrong?

Hello R Gurus, I am perplexed by the different results I obtained when I ran code like this: set.seed(100) test1<-randomForest(BinaryY~., data=Xvars, trees=51, mtry=5, seed=200) predict(test1, newdata=cbind(NewBinaryY, NewXs), type="response") and this code: set.seed(100) test2<-randomForest(BinaryY~., data=Xvars, trees=51, mtry=5, seed=200, xtest=NewXs, ytest=NewBinarY) The

Hi all (and Andy!), When running a randomForest run in R, I get the last part of an output (with do.trace=T) that looks like this: 1993 | 0.04606 130.43 | 1994 | 0.04605 130.40 | 1995 | 0.04605 130.43 | 1996 | 0.04605 130.43 | 1997 | 0.04606 130.44 | 1998 | 0.04607 130.47 | 1999 | 0.04606 130.46 | 2000 | 0.04605 130.42 | With the first column representing the

Hello, I'm using the random forest package. One of my factors in the data set contains 41 levels (I can't code this as a numeric value - in terms of linear models this would be a random factor). The randomForest call comes back with an error telling me that the limit is 32 categories. Is there any reason for this particular limit? Maybe it's possible to recompile the module with a

Hello, I am a phd student in Bioinformatics and I am using the Random Forest package in order to classify my data, but I have some questions. Is there a function in order to visualize the trees, so as to get the rules? Also, could you please provide me with the code of "randomForest" function, as I would like to see how it works. I was wondering if I can get the classification having

Hi group, I am trying to do a RF with approx 250,000 cases. My objective is to determine the risk factors of a person being readmitted to hospital (response=1) or else (response=0). Only 10%, or 25,000 cases were readmitted. I've heard about down-sampling and class weight approach and am wondering if R can do it. Even some reference to articles will help. >From the statistical point

Guys, I used Random Forest with a couple of data sets I had to predict for binary response. In all the cases, the AUC of the training set is coming to be 1. Is this always the case with random forests? Can someone please clarify this? I have given a simple example, first using logistic regression and then using random forests to explain the problem. AUC of the random forest is coming out to be

Hi, I'm looking to perform a classification analysis on an imbalanced data set using random Forest and I'd like to reproduce the weighted random forest analysis proposed in the Chen, Liaw & Breiman paper "Using Random Forest to Learn Imbalanced Data"; can I use the R package randomForest to perform such analysis? What is the easiest way to accomplish this task? Thanks,

Hello, I have two Random Forest (RF) related questions. 1. How do I view the classifications for the detail data of my training data (aka trainset) that I used to build the model? I know there is an object called predicted which I believe is a vector. To view the detail for my testset I use the below-bind the columns together. I was trying to do something similar for my trainset but
