Random Forests with R

Use R! Series Editors Robert Gentleman, 23andMe Inc., South San Francisco, USA Kurt Hornik, Department of Finance, Accounting and Statistics, WU Wirtschaftsuniversität Wien, Vienna, Austria Giovanni Parmigiani, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Boston, USA

Use R! This series of inexpensive and focused books on R will publish shorter books aimed at practitioners. Books can discuss the use of R in a particular subject area (e.g., epidemiology, econometrics, psychometrics) or as it relates to statistical topics (e.g., missing data, longitudinal data). In most cases, books will combine LaTeX and R so that the code for figures and tables can be put on a website. Authors should assume a background as supplied by Dalgaard’s Introductory Statistics with R or other introductory books so that each book does not repeat basic material.
