1. Matlab using TreeBagger (it is actually like Random Forest) ========================================== load ionosphere; noBag = 5; myBag  = TreeBagger( noBag  ,   X, Y, 'OOBPred','on' , 'oobvarimp' ,'on' ); //  increase in prediction error if the values of that variable are permuted across OOB observations. //  The more increase in prediction Error ==> The more important the variable is oobVarImp = myBag.OOBPermutedVarDeltaError // re-substitution error varImp = zeros( noBag, noFeature) for i=1:noBag    varimportance( myBag.Trees{i}) end ========== COMPLETE CODE========== function fromRF load ionosphere; noBag = 5; myBag  = TreeBagger( noBag  ,   X, Y, 'OOBPred','on'); varRanking = zeros( noBag  , size(X,2) ) ; for i=1:noBag       [ val ,varRanking( i , :) ]= sort( varimportance( myBag.Trees{i}) ,'descend')    end // suppose finally taking top rank...

Source: http://weka.wikispaces.com/CLASSPATH Win32 (2k and XP) We assume that the mysql-connector-java-3.1.8-bin.jar archive is located in the following directory: C:\Program Files\Weka-3-4 In the Control Panel click on System (or right click on My Computer and select Properties ) and then go to the Advanced tab. There you will find a button called Environment Variables , click it. Depending on, whether you're the only person using this computer or it is a lab computer shared by many, you can either create a new system-wide (you are the only user) environment variable or a user dependent one (recommended for multi-user machines). Enter the following name for the variable CLASSPATH and add this value C:\Program Files\Weka-3-4\mysql-connector-java-3.1.8-bin.jar If you want to add additional jars, you'll have to separate them with the path separator, the semicolon ; (no spaces!). Unix/Linux I assume, that the mysql jar is located in ...

Taken from: http://javahowto.blogspot.com/2006/06/6-common-errors-in-setting-java-heap.html Two JVM options are often used to tune JVM heap size: -Xmx for maximum heap size, and -Xms for initial heap size. Here are some common mistakes I have seen when using them: Missing m, M, g or G at the end (they are case insensitive). For example, java -Xmx128 BigApp java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space The correct command should be: java -Xmx128m BigApp . To be precise, -Xmx128 is a valid setting for very small apps, like HelloWorld. But in real life, I guess you really mean -Xmx128m Extra space in JVM options, or incorrectly use =. For example, java -Xmx 128m BigApp Invalid maximum heap size: -Xmx Could not create the Java virtual machine. java -Xmx=512m HelloWorld Invalid maximum heap size: -Xmx=512m Could not create the Java virtual machine. The correct command should be java -Xmx128m BigApp , with no whitespace nor =. -X options are different than -Dkey...

 p-value: ======= Probability (or the area) at the tail of a bell shaped curve, where,     center of bell = population mean,     marker = sample mean     p-value = area remaining at the tail after deducting the are   intuition : ========= the lower the area ==> the higher the distance between centre and sample mean . So, we can reject hypothesis. Steps to calculate p-value 1. Assume null hypethesis ( i.e.  Population mean) ==================================== It( actually the opposite of this ) will be the Null Hypothesis 2. Calculate sample statistics ===================== Now, calculate statistics from available data. 3. Calculate p-value ================== If p-value is small ==> distance between population mean and sample mean is high ==> Reject Null Hypo If p-value is big==> distance between population mean and sample mean is small ==>Fail to Reject Null Hypo     ...
