Hi all,

Had struggled in getting "Strata" in randomForest to work on this. 

Can I get randomForest for each of its TREE, to get ALL sample from some
strata to build tree, while leaving some strata TOTALLY untouched as oob?

e.g. in below, how I can tell RF to, 
- for tree 1 in the forest, to use only Site A and B to build the tree,
while using the WHOLE Site C data for the oob error rate,
- for tree 2, use only site A and C to build tree, while using whole site B
data for oob
- for tree 3, use Site B and C, A as oob...?

My command does not work as it would use some sample in all of the sites:
rforest.obj <- randomForest(Presence.f ~., data=dataset.subset, strata =
site.factor)

while 
the setting the corresponding "sampsize" argument seems would only screen
out the Site in all tree building...

Site    Presence          Length          Sulphur
A               Yes            3.50             19.42
A               No              3.90            51.09
A               No              3.60            26.75
B               Yes            2.60             9.71
B               No              2.20            9.77
B               No              2.60            8.60
B               No              3.00            35.59
C               Yes            3.50             16.07
C               No              3.40            49.96
C               No              3.10            35.35

Any idea / comments are welcomed.

Thanks in advance.
