Hi Paul,
See this page:
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Floats,_Figures_and_Captions#Lists_of_figures_and_tables
The \caption command has primarily two arguments:
\caption[short text]{long text}
Note that the first part, within the square brackets, will be the text included
in the list of tables.
So in your example above:
\caption[Results for Random Forest Model Using Scoring Data]
{Results for Random Forest Model Using Scoring Data (N = 700)}
Regards,
Marc Schwartz
