Breiman and Cutler's Random Forests for Classification and Regression

Classification and regression based on a forest of trees using random inputs, based on Breiman (2001) .

A Fast Implementation of Random Forests

A fast implementation of Random Forests, particularly suited for high dimensional data. Ensembles of classification, regression, survival and probability prediction trees are supported. Data from genome-wide association studies can be analyzed efficiently. In addition to data frames, datasets of class 'gwaa.data' (R package 'GenABEL') and 'dgCMatrix' (R package 'Matrix') can be directly analyzed.

Generalized Random Forests

Forest-based statistical estimation and inference. GRF provides non-parametric methods for heterogeneous treatment effects estimation (optionally using right-censored outcomes, multiple treatment arms or outcomes, or instrumental variables), as well as least-squares regression, quantile regression, and survival regression, all with support for missing covariates.

Nonparametric Missing Value Imputation using Random Forest

The function 'missForest' in this package is used to impute missing values particularly in the case of mixed-type data. It uses a random forest trained on the observed values of a data matrix to predict the missing values. It can be used to impute continuous and/or categorical data including complex interactions and non-linear relations. It yields an out-of-bag (OOB) imputation error estimate without the need of a test set or elaborate cross-validation. It can be run in parallel to save computation time.

Regularized Random Forest

Feature Selection with Regularized Random Forest. This package is based on the 'randomForest' package by Andy Liaw. The key difference is the RRF() function that builds a regularized random forest.

Variable Selection Using Random Forests

Three steps variable selection procedure based on random forests. Initially developed to handle high dimensional data (for which number of variables largely exceeds number of observations), the package is very versatile and can treat most dimensions of data, for regression and supervised classification problems. First step is dedicated to eliminate irrelevant variables from the dataset. Second step aims to select all variables related to the response for interpretation purpose. Third step refines the selection by eliminating redundancy in the set of variables selected by the second step, for prediction purpose. Genuer, R. Poggi, J.-M. and Tuleau-Malot, C.

Models Multivariate Cases Using Random Forests

Models and predicts multiple output features in single random forest considering the linear relation among the output features, see details in Rahman et al (2017).
