[R] random Forests

[Michael Lynn Fugate]

Hi,

I have a data set with 1000 observations and 260 predictors.  The
predictor variables are all ordinal.  There are 2 classes labeled as, F
and T with class proportions of 0.44 and 0.56, respectively.

In a call to the function randomForest() with mytry=1 and nodesize=1 and
ntree=100 the resulting classifier puts all observations in class T.
When I change nodesize to nodesize=5 I get the following error message:

 Error in array(rfout$treemap, dim = c(2, nrnodes, ntree)) :
	dim<- length of dims do not match the length of object

Higher values of nodesize also result in this error message but values
of nodesize less than 5 do not.

I'm using R-1.5.0 on a Linux box and I installed the randomForest package
during the week 13 May 2002.

Thanks in advance.

mike
