How do I replace the bootstrap step in the package randomForest r
First some background info, which is probably more interesting on stats.stackexchange: In my data analysis I try to compare the performance of different machine learning methods on time series data (regression, not classification). So for example I have trained a Boosting trained model and compare this with a Random Forest trained model (R package randomForest). I use time series data where the explanatory variables are lagged values of other data and the dependent variable. For some reason the Random Forest severely underperforms. One of the problems I could think of is that the Random Forest
