How can I get the variable importance when creating a random forest with partykit?

I'm using partykit to create a multi-output random forest. The library party provides a function (impVar) to obtain it directly, but I cannot find an equivalent function in partykit. Is there any way to obtain the variable importance to classify with partykit?

Not yet. While the tree fitting functions ctree() and mob() in partykit already supersede the corresponding functionality in the party package, the same is not yet true for cforest(). At the moment the latter is a basic re-implementation that has already some new features but also lacks various details, specifically methods for flexible prediction and variable importance. We plan to add these in the future, though.
