Hi all,
I am trying out with random forest on party package but am getting an error saying : cannot allocate vector of size 564." What would be the problem? the
coding as below:

data.controls <- cforest_unbiased(ntree=1000, mtry=3)
data.cforest <- cforest(class ~x1+x2+x3, data = Score,
controls=data.controls)
Error: cannot allocate vector of size 564 Kb
my datasets is of  10 independent variables and 72,000 entries.
what should I proceed?

You appear to have the machine resources to handle the problem, but probably have too much other "stuff" (running programs, open windows, etc) in your system at this time that is occupying memory, this preventing R from having contiguous memory that can hold your data object. You should exit R, restart your computer, do not run any other applications, ... restart R and redo this analysis.
