If you do use correlation, you should think about doing it on the log or sort scale. The train() function in the caret package can estimate performance using resampling. There are examples in ?train that show how to define custom performance measures (I think it shows how to do this with MAD es

I am using bagging to perform Bagged Regression Trees on count data (bird abundance in Britain and Ireland, in relation to climate and land cover variables). Predictions from the final model are visually believable but I would really like a diagnostic equivalent to classification success that ca
