Description Details Author(s) References

This package provides functions for the analysis of randomForest (and cforest) objects in general and to replicate simulations conducted for the paper on "Random Forest Gini importance favors SNPs with large minor allele frequency" (http://bib.oxfordjournals.org/content/early/2011/09/10/bib.bbr053.abstract) in specific.

This Package mainly facilitates the extraction of meta-information on Random Forests especially randomForest objects, i.e. ancestry, number of observations/levels, split information, etc. for individual nodes or all nodes in a tree or forest. While some functions can be used on randomForest-objects in general, others are designed specifically to compute information such as category frequencies for SNP-data.
