Hi, I'm very new to R. I am most interested in the variable importance measures that result from randomForest, but many of my predictors are highly correlated. My first question is: 1. do highly correlated variables render variable importance measures in randomForest invalid? and 2. I know that cforest is robust to highly correlated variables, however, I do not have enough space on my

Hi, Could anyone help me understand how the mincriterion threshold works in ctree and cforest of the party package? I've seen examples which state that to satisfy the p < 0.05 condition before splitting I should use mincriterion = 0.95 while the documentation suggests I should use mincriterion = qnorm(0.95) which would obviously feed the function a different value. Thanks in advance,

Hi, This is my code (my data is attached): library(languageR) library(rms) library(party) OLDDATA <- read.csv("/Users/Abigail/Documents/OldData250412.csv") OLDDATA$YD <- factor(OLDDATA$YD, label=c("Yes", "No"))? OLDDATA$ND <- factor(OLDDATA$ND, label=c("Yes", "No"))? attach(OLDDATA) defaults <- cbind(YD, ND) set.seed(47) data.controls

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 =

Greetings, I am using cforest to predict age of fishes using several variables; as it is rather difficult to age fishes I would like to show that a small subset of fish (training dataset) can be aged, then using RF analysis, age can accurately be predicted to the remaining individuals not in the subsample. In cforest_unbiased the samples are drawn without replacement and so it creates a default

Dear mailing list, I am using the cforest() method from the party package to train a randomForest with ten input parameters which sometimes contain "NA"s. The predicted variable is a binary decision. Building the tree works fine without warnings or error messages, but when using the predict() statement for validation, I run in an error: forest <- cforest(V31 ~ V1+V2+V3,

Hi, I am facing a hierarchically structured dataset, and I am not sure of the right way to analyses it with cforest, if their is one. - - BACKGROUND & PROBLEM We are analyzing the behavior of some social birds facing different temperature conditions. The behaviors of the birds were recorder during many sessions of 2 hours. Conditional RF (cforest) are quite useful for this analysis

All -- I have been trying to work with the 'Party' package using R v2.15.1 and have cobbled together a (somewhat) functioning code from examples on the web. I need to run a series of unbiased, conditional, cForest tests on several subsets of data which I have made into a loop. The results ideally will be saved to an output file in matrix form. The two questions regarding the script in

Dear List, I'm trying to find a way to extract the individual conditional inference trees from cforest ( a modelling function in the party package) in a manner analogous to getTree in randomForest and I'm struggling. I can see that the information is held within the ensemble list, but haven't been able to work out how this sequence of nested lists is structured or if any of the items

Greetings! I'm trying to use function varimpAUC in the party package (party_1.0-3 released September 26th of this year). Unfortunately, I get the following error message: > data.cforest.varimp <- varimpAUC(data.cforest, conditional = TRUE) Error: could not find function "varimpAUC" Was this function NOT included in the Windows binary I downloaded and installed? Could someone

I would like to build a forest of regression trees to see how well some covariates predict a response variable and to examine the importance of the covariates. I have a small number of covariates (8) and large number of records (27368). The response and all of the covariates are continuous variables. A cursory examination of the covariates does not suggest they are correlated in a simple fashion

Dear All, For a data mining project, I am relying heavily on the RandomForest and Party packages. Due to the large size of the data set, I have often memory problems (in particular with the Party package; RandomForest seems to use less memory). I really have two questions at this point 1) Please see how I am using the Party and RandomForest packages. Any comment is welcome and useful.

Dear All, I would like to use a randomForest algorithm on a dataset. The set is not particularly large/difficult to handle, but it has some missing values (both factors and numerical values). According to what I found https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2005-September/078880.html https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2007-January/123117.html the randomForest package has a problem with missing

When I try to crate a grid of parameters for training with caret I get various errors: ------------------------------------------------------------ > my_grid <- createGrid("rf") Error in if (p <= len) { : argument is of length zero > my_grid <- createGrid("rf", 4) Error in if (p <= len) { : argument is of length zero > my_grid <-

#Conditional inference forest ("Party" package) error message states that levels in factors of new data do not match original data, but they do... #create conditional inference forest oc_listed.fit1 <- cforest(Listed~ HabMode,controls=cforest_unbiased(ntree=500), data=oc.complete) #use predict function for subset of data #this works correctly

Hello there, How to get the proximity matrix of new data in party package? Thanks. Joseph [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
