Hi Andy, thanks for your reply and your further correction.
While the next release is not available I rewrite my code with your suggestion in case it might help anyone. ############################### library(randomForest) set.seed(0) ## build data set in data frame X <- rbind( matrix( runif(n=400,min=-1,max=1), ncol = 10 ) , rep(1,times= 10 ) ) Y <- matrix( nrow = nrow(X) , ncol = 1) for( i in (1:nrow(X))){ Y[i,1] <- sign( sum ( as.numeric(X[i,]))) } df <- data.frame( X , Y ) ##remove rm(X,Y) ## build model mdl.rf <- randomForest( formula = as.factor(Y) ~ . , data = df , proximity=TRUE , mtry = 10 , ntree = 500 ) summary (outlier(mdl.rf) ) ############################## Regards Pau 2010/7/15 Liaw, Andy <andy_l...@merck.com> > There's a bug in the code.
