Random Forest variable importance with missing data [PDF]
Random Forests are commonly applied for data prediction and interpretation. The latter purpose is supported by variable importance measures that rate the relevance of predictors. Yet existing measures can not be computed when data contains missing values.

Danger: High Power! – Exploring the Statistical Properties of a Test for Random Forest Variable Importance [PDF]
Random forests have become a widely-used predictive model in many scientific disciplines within the past few years. Additionally, they are increasingly popular for assessing variable importance, e.g., in genetics and bioinformatics.

Important Variables in Granulocyte Chemiluminescence
SummaryA CL system consisting of canine granulocytes stimulated with opsonized zymosan was used to examine factors which lead to variability in light production. Variability of CL response was associated with granulocyte aggregation. Granulocyte aggregation was reduced by: (i) reducing centrifu-gation and mixing forces used to prepare cell suspensions,

Overview of Random Forest Methodology and Practical Guidance with Emphasis on Computational Biology and Bioinformatics [PDF]
The Random Forest (RF) algorithm by Leo Breiman has become a standard data analysis tool in bioinformatics. It has shown excellent performance in settings where the number of variables is much larger than the number of observations, can cope with ...
