Method importance()

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

Usage

LearnerRegrRandomForest$importance()

Returns

Named numeric().

---

Method oob_error()

OOB errors are extracted from the model slot mse.

Usage

LearnerRegrRandomForest$oob_error()

Returns

numeric(1).

---

Method clone()

The objects of this class are cloneable with this method.

Usage

LearnerRegrRandomForest$clone(deep = FALSE)

Arguments

deep

Whether to make a deep clone.
