I am trying to use the package RandomForest performing regression.
The variable importance estimates are given as: "%IncMSE" and
"IncNodePurity"
Can anyone explain me what these refer to and how they are calculated?
I found a lot of information on variable importance measures for
classification problems, but nothing on regression.
Thanks a lot.
