New Features

  • varimp runs in parallel mode, optionally.
  • weights in cforest can now be used to specify a matrix of weights (number of observations times number of trees) to be used for tree induction (this was always possible in party::cforest. This was advertised in the documentation but actually not implemented so far.

Bugfixes

  • predict did not pay attention to xlev; this caused problems when empty factor levels were removed prior to tree fitting.
  • nodeprune may have got fitted terminal node numbers wrong, spotted by Jason Parker.
