If all you need the formula interface for is auto deletion of NAs, I'd suggest doing something like: varlist <- c("fruit", "apples", "oranges", "blueberries") fruits.nona <- na.omit(fruits.data[varlist]) model.rf <- randomForest(fruits.data[-1], fruits.data[[1]], ...) If you want to know the cal

The limitation comes from the way categorical splits are represented in the code: For a categorical variable with k categories, the split is represented by k binary digits: 0=right, 1=left. So it takes k bits to store each split on k categories. To save storage, this is `packed' into a 4-byte in

Hello, I'm using the random forest package. One of my factors in the data set contains 41 levels (I can't code this as a numeric value - in terms of linear models this would be a random factor). The randomForest call comes back with an error telling me that the limit is 32 categories. Is there
