[R] random forest and vegetation data

Hi there, I am an environmental studies masters student trying to get my thesis out the door. I am also newbie at trees in general, but I like what I see in the literature about the random forest algorithm. I think I get the general gist of things, but even after reading stuff I’m unclear

Re: [R] random forest and vegetation data
