similar to: [randomForest]: display decision trees

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

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

I'm having trouble calling randomForest::partialPlot programmatically. It tries to use name of the (R) variable as the data column name. Example: library(randomForest) iris.rf <- randomForest(Species ~ ., data=iris, importance=TRUE, proximity=TRUE) partialPlot(iris.rf, iris, Sepal.Width) # works partialPlot(iris.rf, iris, "Sepal.Width") # works (function(var.name)

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

Here is a snippet to show what i'm trying to do. library(randomForest) library(ROCR) library(caret) data(iris) iris <- iris[(iris$Species != "setosa"),] fit <- randomForest(factor(Species) ~ ., data=iris, ntree=50) train.predict <- predict(fit,iris,type="prob")[,2]

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,

Dear R Developers I'm using the great randomForest package (4.6-7) for many projects and recently stumbled upon a problem when I wrote unit tests for one of my projects: On Windows, there are small numeric deviations when using the 32- / 64-bit version of R, which doesn't seem to be a problem on Linux or Mac. R64 on Windows produces the same results as R64/R32 on Linux or Mac: >

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

Hi, Since I've had no replies on my previous post about my problem I am posting it again in the hope someone notice it. The problem is that the randomForest function doesn't take datasets which has instances only containing a subset of all the classes. So the dataset with instances that either belong to class "a" or "b" from the levels "a", "b" and

"classwt" in the current version of the randomForest package doesn't work too well. (It's what was in version 3.x of the original Fortran code by Breiman and Cutler, not the one in the new Fortran code.) I'd advise against using it. "sampsize" and "strata" can be use in conjunction. If "strata" is not specified, the class labels will be used.

I have a data.frame with a series of variables tagged to a binary response ('present'/'absent'). I am trying to use randomForest to predict present/absent in a second dataset. After a lot a fiddling (using two data frames, making sure data types are the same, lots of testing with data that works such as data(iris)) I've settled on combining all my data into one data.frame

Hello! I'm Taeho, a graduate student in South Korea. In order to get .632+ bootstrap error using random forest, I have tried to use 'ipred' package; more specifically the function 'errorest' has been used. Following the guidelines, I made a simple command line like below: error<-errorest(class ~ ., data=data, model=randomForest, estimator = "632plus")$err

Invocation of randomForest() using the iris example in the help file crashes R with a segmentation fault. This happens on all of our ultraSPARC machines running Solaris 2.7. We're using R-1.4.1, compiled using Sun cc and f77 and the flags: CC=cc CFLAGS="-xO5 -xlibmil -dalign" FC=f77 FFLAGS="-xO5 -xlibmil -dalign" "make check" runs withour errors, and R has been

Hi, I'm experimenting with random forests and want to perform a binary classification task. I've tried some of the sample codes in the help files and things run, but I get a message to the effect 'you don't have very many unique values in the target - are you sure you want to do regression?' (sorry, don't know exact message but r is busy now so can't check). In

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",

Muchas gracias Carlos; ¡tu siempre al pié del cañón! (lo puse el día de reyes a la 1.20h y me contestas a las 2.45h) Una cosa más: si el eje y es la probabilidad ¿por qué va de 0 a 10? En un RF para clasificación me da valores parecidos a los de tu ejemplo, y en otro para regresión, valores de y entre 45 y 55. Para regresión, el último parámetro no puede ser una categoría, como

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,

Hi, I am somewhat new to R so this question may be foolish, but is it possible to add decision trees into a list, array or vector in R? I am trying to build a collection (ensemble) of decision trees. Every time a new instance arrive I need to get the prediction of each decision tree. I have tried to add a decision tree into a variable but without luck. Is a special package needed perhaps? This

Dear R-help, This is about randomForest's handling of NA and NaNs in test set data. Currently, if the test set data contains an NA or NaN then predict.randomForest will skip that row in the output. I would like to change that behavior to outputting an NA. Can this be done with flags to randomForest? If not can some sort of wrapper be built to put the NAs back in? thanks, Clayton
