Re: [R] randomForest memory footprint

It looks like you are building a regression model. With such a large number of rows, you should try to limit the size of the trees by setting nodesize to something larger than the default (5). The issue, I suspect, is the fact that the size of the largest possible tree has about 2*nodesize

I set maxnodes and nodesize to reasonable levels and everything is working great now. Thanks for the guidance. v/r, John On Thu, Sep 8, 2011 at 8:58 AM, Liaw, Andy andy_l...@merck.com wrote: It looks like you are building a regression model.  With such a large number of rows, you should try
