Hi, I was wondering if these two packages could be added :

  1. https://cran.microsoft.com/snapshot/2022-02-03/web/packages/randomForest/ (updated)
  2. https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/randomForestExplainer/index.html

These two packages are about random forest and we need them in our analyses. Thank you.

(this is not from the team)

The randomForest CRAN page shows that its current version requires R >= 4.1.0, and hence that won't install in the current container (which has R 4.0.2).

The previous version of randomForest also had that requirement, but 2 versions back (4.6-14) didn't https://cran.microsoft.com/snapshot/2022-02-03/web/packages/randomForest/

So I recommend using 

install.packages("randomForest", repos = "https://cran.microsoft.com/snapshot/2022-02-03")

to install 4.6-14.

The current version of randomForestExplainer will probably install (it requires randomForest >= 4.6-12).

@remlapmot thanks for checking. I've updated the link you provided.

If issues Tom mentioned can be resolved then these are ok to be added @opensafely-core/pipeline-team
