[R] help with random forest package

[Liaw, Andy]

The source code of the whole package is available on CRAN.  All packages
are submitted to CRAN is source form.

There's no "rule" per se that gives the final prediction, as the final
prediction is the result of plural vote by all trees in the forest.

You may want to look at the varUsed() and getTree() functions.
