I am combining many different random forest objects run on the same data set
using the combine ( ) function. After combining the forests I am not sure
whether the variable importance, local importance, and rsq predictors are
recalculated for the new random forest object  or are calculated
individually for each tree ensemble? Is it  possible to  calculate these
predictors for the new random forest object after calling the combine
function? Any help would be greatly apprecaited. Thanks, Kate
