In this R package, several functions are provided for applying approaches based on random forest. Minimal depth (MD), Surrogate minimal depth (SMD) and mutual impurity reduction (MIR), which is a corrected approach of SMD, can be applied to assess the importance of variables and to select important variables. In addition, the parameters mean adjusted agreement and mutual forest impact (MFI), a corrected approach of the previous, can be applied to investigate variable relations based on surrogate variables.
