I would suggest re-use of the 'Description' and 'Title' fields from
the package's own DESCRIPTION file as your wording is not as clear
(and 'classificator' is not a word I encountered before reading this).

So how about

   Description     : GNU R package for classification and regression
     The randomForest package provides classification and regression based on
     randomized forests of trees based on the work by Breiman and Cutler.
