I'm using repeated cross validation in random forest as follows: k=10 repeat =3 I have set my random forest to grow a thousand trees and use 6 variables for splitting at each node: ntree = 1000 mtry = 6 I need to understand does each iteration of the cross validation build 1000 trees: fold 1.rep1: mtry = 6 (does this iteration build 1000 trees??) fold 2.rep2: mtry = 6 (does this iteration build 1000 trees??)
or the total of all cross validation iterations sums to 1000 trees?
