Random forest for classification. Calls randomForest::randomForest() from randomForest.

Dictionary

This Learner can be instantiated via the dictionary mlr_learners or with the associated sugar function lrn():

mlr_learners$get("classif.randomForest")
lrn("classif.randomForest")

Methods

Inherited methods


Method new()

Creates a new instance of this R6 class.


Method importance()

The importance scores are extracted from the slot importance. Parameter 'importance' must be set to either "accuracy" or "gini".

Usage

LearnerClassifRandomForest$importance()

Returns

Named numeric().


Method oob_error()

OOB errors are extracted from the model slot err.rate.

Usage

LearnerClassifRandomForest$oob_error()

Returns

numeric(1).


Method clone()

The objects of this class are cloneable with this method.

Usage

LearnerClassifRandomForest$clone(deep = FALSE)

Arguments

deep

Whether to make a deep clone.
