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

Hi, I would like to use a random Forest model to get an idea about which variables from a dataset may have some prognostic significance in a smallish study. The default for the number of trees seems to be 500. I tried changing the default to ntree=2000 or ntree=200 and the results appear identical. Have changed mtry from mtry=5 to mtry=6 successfully. Have seen same problem on both a Windows

Dear Researches, I am using RF (in regression way) for analize several metrics extract from image. I am tuning RF setting a loop using different range of mtry, tree and nodesize using the lower value of MSE-OOB mtry from 1 to 5 nodesize from1 to 10 tree from 1 to 500 using this paper as refery Palmer, D. S., O'Boyle, N. M., Glen, R. C., & Mitchell, J. B. O. (2007). Random Forest Models

Dear R-users, While making a prediction using the randomForest function (package randomForest) I'm getting the following error message: "Error in predict.randomForest(model, newdata = CV) : No forest component in the object" Here's my complete code. For reproducing this task, please find my 2 data sets attached ( http://www.nabble.com/file/p17855119/data.rar data.rar ).

Dear list, I am trying to do a benchmark study for my case study. It is a regression problem. Among other models I use randomForest. Using the following code the result is around 0.628, and this make sense comparing with other methods. The Theil function implements Theil's U statistic. I do not present the definition of some variables because it is not important to understand my problem.

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.

R programming question, not machine learning, although that's the content. Apologies to all for whom the following code is eye-burning. I am using foreach() to run a simulation on a randomForest model (actually conditional randomForest ... "party" package). The simulation is in two dimensions. examining how "mtry" and "ntrees" are related in terms of predictive

Dear all, Version 4.3-0 of the randomForest package is now available on CRAN (in source; binaries will follow in due course). There are some interface changes and a few new features, as well as bug fixes. For those who had used previous versions, the important things to note are: 1. there's a namespace now, and 2. some functions have been renamed. The list of changes since 4.0-7 (last

hello, I want to use randomForest to classify a matrix which is 331030?42,the last column is class signal.I use ? Memebers.rf<-randomForest(class~.,data=Memebers,proximity=TRUE,mtry=6,ntree=200) which told me" the error is matrix(0,n,n) set too elements" then I use: Memebers.rf<-randomForest(class~.,data=Memebers,importance=TRUE,proximity=TRUE) which told me"the error is

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]]

Dear R-users, I have a problem with randomForest{outlier}. After running the following code ( that produces a silly data set and builds a model with randomForest ): ####################### library(randomForest) set.seed(0) ## build data set X <- rbind( matrix( runif(n=400,min=-1,max=1), ncol = 10 ) , rep(1,times= 10 ) ) Y <- matrix( nrow = nrow(X), ncol = 1) for( i in (1:nrow(X))){

Hello, I'm trying to find out the optimal number of splits (mtry parameter) for a randomForest classification. The classification is binary and there are 32 explanatory variables (mostly factors with each up to 4 levels but also some numeric variables) and 575 cases. I've seen that although there are only 32 explanatory variables the best classification performance is reached when

Hello, I'm currently using MCRestimate package and I have a question regarding the MCRestimate function. Here is my code: NestedCV.rf<-MCRestimate(eset, "Class", classificatin.fun="RF.wrap", variableSel.fun="varSel.highest.var", poss.parameters= list(var.numbers=c(100), mtry=c(10,50), cross.outer=10,cross.inner=10,cross.repeat=3) I'm pretty sure that I

Thank you all for your help! So with all your suggestions we will try to run it on a computer with a 64 bits proccesor. But i've been told that the new R versions all work on a 32bits processor. I read in other posts that only the old R versions were capable of larger data sets and were running under 64 bit proccesors. I also read that they are adapting the new R version for 64 bits

Dear list members, I am analyzing Affymentrix gene expression data and would like to apply the R package, VarSelRF to identifying small sets of genes that could be used for diagnostic purpose. Basically, the data matrix is composed of 22277 rows (genes) and 65 columns (samples). I did unsupervised clustering using pvclust to get 4 classes. What I would like to do is to get unique genes for each

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]

Hello, I'm trying to figure out a solution online but couldn't so far. I realized that others dealt with such an error but their suggestions didn't work for me. So, I'm trying to run the randomForest() using this command: rf = randomForest(classes~., data=as.matrix(train), mtry=5, ntree=2000, importance=TRUE) and it always results in *Error: protect(): protection stack

Hi, There is an excellent article at http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2105/9/307 by Stroble, et al. describing variable importance in random forests. Does anyone have any suggestions (besides imputation or removal of cases) for how to deal with data that *have* missing data for predictor variables? Below is an excerpt of some code referenced in the article. I have commented out one line and

Dear R-helpers, I'm working on mass spectra in randomForest/R, and following the recommendations for the case of noisy variables, I don't want to use the default mtry (sqrt of nvariables), but I'm not sure up to which proportion mtry/nvariables it makes sense to increase mtry without "overtuning" RF. Let me tell my example: I have 106 spectra belonging to 4 classes, the
