There is an improved version of the original random forest algorithm available in the party package (you can find some additional information on the details here: http://www.stat.uni-muenchen.de/sfb386/papers/dsp/paper490.pdf ). I do not know whether it yields a solution to your problem about

[R] randomForest and missing data

2007-01-04 Thread Darin A. England
Does anyone know a reason why, in principle, a call to randomForest cannot accept a data frame with missing predictor values? If each individual tree is built using CART, then it seems like this should be possible. (I understand that one may impute missing values using rfImpute or some other

You can try randomForest in Fortran codes, which has that function doing missing replacement automatically. There are two ways of imputations (one is fast and the other is time-consuming) to do that. I did it long time ago. the link is below. If you have any question, just let me know.
