RandomForest-class {party}

Class "RandomForest"

Description

A class for representing random forest ensembles.

Objects from the Class

Objects can be created by calls of the form new("RandomForest", ...).

Slots

ensemble:

Object of class "list", each element being an object of class "BinaryTree".

data:

an object of class "ModelEnv".

initweights:

a vector of initial weights.

weights:

a list of weights defining the sub-samples.

where:

a matrix of integers vectors of length n (number of observations in the learning sample) giving the number of the terminal node the corresponding observations is element of (in each tree).

data:

an object of class "ModelEnv".

responses:

an object of class "VariableFrame" storing the values of the response variable(s).

cond_distr_response:

a function computing the conditional distribution of the response.

predict_response:

a function for computing predictions.

prediction_weights:

a function for extracting weights from terminal nodes.

get_where:

a function for determining the number of terminal nodes observations fall into.

update:

a function for updating weights.
