spatialRF (version 1.1.5)

get_importance: Extract variable importance from model

Description

Extracts variable importance scores from models fitted with rf(), rf_repeat(), or rf_spatial().

Usage

get_importance(model)

Value

Data frame with columns variable (character) and importance (numeric), sorted by decreasing importance.

Arguments

model

Model object from rf(), rf_repeat(), or rf_spatial().

Details

For spatial models (rf_spatial()) with many spatial predictors, this function returns aggregated importance statistics for spatial predictors to improve readability. Non-spatial models return per-variable importance scores directly.
