Given a TReNA object with RandomForest as the solver, use the randomForest function to estimate coefficients for each transcription factor as a predictor of the target gene's expression level.

# S4 method for RandomForestSolver
run(obj)

Arguments

obj

An object of class TReNA with "randomForest" as the solver string

Value

A data frame containing the IncNodePurity for each candidate regulator. This coefficient estimates the relationship between the candidates and the target gene.
