Re: [R] randomForest: help with combine() function

combine() is meant to be used on randomForest objects that were built
from identical training data.

 Subject: [R] randomForest: help with combine() function
 
 I've built two RF objects (RF1 and RF2) and have tried to combine
 them, but I get the following error:
 
 Error in rf$votes + ifelse(is.na(rflist[[i]]$votes), 0, 
 rflist[[i]]$votes) :
   non-conformable arrays
 In addition: Warning message:
 In rf$oob.times + rflist[[i]]$oob.times :
   longer object length is not a multiple of shorter object length
 
 
 Both RF models use the same variables, although the NAs in both models
 likely differ (using na.roughfix in both models). I assume this is
 part of the reason that my arrays are non-conformable. If so, does
 anyone have any suggestions on how to combine in such a situation? How
 similar do RFs have to be in order to combine?
 
 Cheers
