     - "n" (number of trees). In the random forests literature, this is referred to as the ntree parameter.
       Larger number of trees produce more stable models and covariate importance estimates, but require more memory and a longer run time.
       For small datasets, 50 trees may be sufficient. For larger datasets, 500 or more may be required. Please consult the random forests
       literature for extensive discussion of this parameter (e.g. Cutler et al., 2007; Strobl et al., 2007; Strobl et al., 2008).

     - "r" The ratio of the training set that will be used in the construction of individual trees (0<r<=1). Should be adjusted depending on
       the noise level in the dataset in the range from 0.66 (low noise) to 0.05 (high noise). This parameter should be adjusted to achieve
       good generalization error.

     - "m" The ratio of features that will be used in the construction of individual trees (0<m<=1)
