Random Forests do not do clustering. You need to take the proximity matrix and feed it to algorithms of your choice for that. Best, Andy From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Friends, > I would like to use Random Forest in unsupervised mode to > classify data that are > from a mixture of categorical an

[R] unsupervised random forest classification

Friends, I would like to use Random Forest in unsupervised mode to classify data that are from a mixture of categorical and continuous variables. The examples I find online use only continuous data, followed by an mds plot. Is it correct to use RF to obtain proximities for my mixed dataset and then
