Usage
varUsed(x, by.tree=FALSE, count=TRUE)Arguments
- x
An object of class
randomForest.- by.tree
Should the list of variables used be broken down by trees in the forest?
- count
Should the frequencies that variables appear in trees be returned?
Value
If count=TRUE and by.tree=FALSE, a integer vector containing
frequencies that variables are used in the forest. If
by.tree=TRUE, a matrix is returned, breaking down the counts by
tree (each column corresponding to one tree and each row to a variable).
If count=FALSE and by.tree=TRUE, a list of integer
indices is returned giving the variables used in the trees, else if
by.tree=FALSE, a vector of integer indices giving the
variables used in the entire forest.
