Hi

I have a doubt respect the values of impurity decrease from RandomForest,
respect to a regression problem weka use a function based on varience for
compute the impurity decrease values. for example for the next command:

/*java weka.classifiers.trees.RandomForest -t data/iris.arff 
-attribute-importance*/

a output part has this form:

/*Attribute importance based on average impurity decrease (and number of
nodes using that attribute)

      0.63 (   238)  petallength
      0.55 (    67)  sepalwidth
      0.55 (   133)  sepallength
      0.53 (   168)  petalwidth*/

if i want compare the attributes using the average impurity decrease,  ¿Do I
have to minimize or maximize with respect to average impurity decrease?

 ¿where are reported the function based on variance for compute the impurity
decrease?

 ¿How i can get number of nodes using that attribute values?

best regards,
Luis
