predictions | Predicted classes/values (only for classification and regression) |
unique.death.times | Unique death times (only for survival). |
chf | Estimated cumulative hazard function for each sample (only for survival). |
survival | Estimated survival function for each sample (only for survival). |
num.trees | Number of trees. |
num.independent.variables | Number of independent variables. |
treetype | Type of forest/tree. Classification, regression or survival. |
num.samples | Number of samples. |
Ranger ranger.forest object.
New test data of class data.frame or gwaa.data (GenABEL).
Return individual predictions for each tree instead of aggregated predictions for all trees. Return a matrix (sample x tree) for classification and regression, a 3d array for probability estimation (sample x class x tree) and survival (sample x time x tree).
Number of trees used for prediction. The first num.trees in the forest are used.
Type of prediction. One of 'response', 'se', 'terminalNodes', 'quantiles' with default 'response'. See below for details.
Method to compute standard errors. One of 'jack', 'infjack' with default 'infjack'. Only applicable if type = 'se'. See below for details.
Random seed. Default is NULL, which generates the seed from R. Set to 0 to ignore the R seed. The seed is used in case of ties in classification mode.
Number of threads. Default is number of CPUs available.
Verbose output on or off.
Number of times the observations are in-bag in the trees.
further arguments passed to or from other methods.

For type = 'response' (the default), the predicted classes (classification), predicted numeric values (regression), predicted probabilities (probability estimation) or survival probabilities (survival) are returned.
For type = 'se', the standard error of the predictions are returned (regression only). The jackknife-after-bootstrap or infinitesimal jackknife for bagging is used to estimate the standard errors based on out-of-bag predictions. See Wager et al. (2014) for details.
For type = 'terminalNodes', the IDs of the terminal node in each tree for each observation in the given dataset are returned.
If type = 'se' is selected, the method to estimate the variances can be chosen with se.method. Set se.method = 'jack' for jackknife after bootstrap and se.method = 'infjack' for the infinitesimal jackknife for bagging.
For classification and predict.all = TRUE, a factor levels are returned as numerics.
To retrieve the corresponding factor levels, use rf$forest$levels, if rf is the ranger object.
