holdoutRF: Hold-out random forests

Description

Grow two random forests on two cross-validation folds. Instead of out-of-bag data, the other fold is used to compute permutation importance. Related to the novel permutation variable importance by Janitza et al. (2015).

Usage

holdoutRF(formula, data, ...)

Arguments

formula
Object of class formula or character describing the model to fit.
data
Training data of class data.frame, matrix or gwaa.data (GenABEL).
...
Further arguments passed to ranger().

Value

Hold-out random forests with variable importance.
