When mtry is equal to total number of features, you just get regular bagging
(in the R package -- Breiman Cutler's Fortran code samples variable with
replacement, so you can't do bagging with that). There are cases when
bagging will do better than random feature selection (i.e., RF), even in

Hi,
I found the following lines from Leo's randomForest, and I am not sure
if it can be applied here but just tried to help:
mtry0 = the number of variables to split on at each node. Default is
the square root of mdim. ATTENTION! DO NOT USE THE DEFAULT VALUES OF
MTRY0 IF YOU WANT TO OPTIMIZE THE
See the tuneRF() function in the package for an implementation of
the strategy recommended by Breiman Cutler.
BTW, randomForest is only for the R package. See Breiman's
web page for notice on trademarks.
