Train Random Forest with Caret Package (R)

1. No Cross Validation / Bootstrapping
mtry <- tuneRF(dev[, -1], dev[,1], ntreeTry=500, stepFactor=1.5,improve=0.01, trace=TRUE, plot=TRUE)

best.m <- mtry[mtry[, 2] == min(mtry[, 2]), 1]

set.seed(825)
trained1 <- train(dev[, -1], dev[,1], method = "rf", ntree=100, tuneGrid=data.frame(mtry=best.m), trControl = trainControl(method = "none"), importance = TRUE)

2. Cross Validation with Manual Fine Tuning
sqtmtry<- round(sqrt(ncol(mydata) - 1))
rfGrid <- expand.grid(mtry = c(round(sqtmtry / 2), sqtmtry, 2 * sqtmtry))

ctrl <- trainControl(method = "cv", classProbs = TRUE, summaryFunction = twoClassSummary, number = 3)

set.seed(2)
trained2<- train(Y ~ . , data = mydata, method = "rf", ntree = 500, tuneGrid = rfGrid, metric = "ROC",
trControl = ctrl, importance = TRUE)
3. Cross Validation with Automatic Fine Tuning

set.seed(2)
trained3 <- train(Y ~ . , data = mydata, method = "rf", ntree = 500, tunelength = 10, metric = "ROC", trControl = ctrl, importance = TRUE)

4. Bootstrapping (Repetitive Sampling)

set.seed(2) tuned <- train(dev[, -1], dev[,1], method = "rf" , ntree =10)
Note : By default, it creates 25 repetitive samples.

If you want to set 10 repetitive samples.
tuned <- train(dev[, -1], dev[,1], method = "rf" , ntree =10 , trControl= trainControl(method="boot", number=10))
