Method new()

Creates a new instance of this R6 class.

Usage

LearnerClassifRandomForest$new()

---

Method importance()

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.
