[@constantineallen5267]

Cool demonstration, congrats!

[@AdityaGupta-fz8mr]

while explaining how random forest works you told that we split the features but in the example that you gave split on training set, so which is correct ?

[@edurekaIN]

Hey Aditya, you have to use split on the training set.

[@sonalikapanda8398]

Thanks for the wonderful video.Its really helpful.

[@sokcintye732]

Hi, thank you for a clear presentation about random forest. I am wondering of you have ther videos about random forest for time to event model?Thanks.

[@edurekaIN]

Hi Tye, thanks for the compliment! We don't have that specific video, however you can check out this content on Random forest: www.edureka.co/blog/random-forest-classifier/

[@rajbir_singh0517]

Great video great explanation. Some code are not matching with video and R studio but overall it is great insight

[@niranjans4248]

What can you do to improve the model accuracy for random forest and was the number of variables selected for each tree built in this forest 3 as calculated or only 2?

[@edurekaIN]

Hey Niranjan, It is always a better idea to apply ensemble methods to improve the accuracy of your model. There are two good reasons for this: a ) They are generally more complex than traditional methods. b) The traditional methods give you a good base level from which you can improve and draw from to create your ensembles. Hope this helps!

[@PRIYANSHU_NEGI_108]

Please make a video on spam detection in twitter using Random Forest .

[@ayyasamy8730]

[@AbhishekVigg]

How were the subsets divided in the first step of the Random Forest Algorithm? Is there a parameter that was used to decide on these subsets?

[@edurekaIN]

Hey Abhishek, Each tree gets the full set of features, but at each node, only a random subset of features is considered. Hope this helps!

[@narenenagares7459]

How does Random Forest work if there are more than two classes or multi-classification, let's say 3 outcomes?

[@edurekaIN]

Hey Narene, "A good multi-class classification machine learning algorithm involves the following steps: Importing libraries Fetching the dataset Creating the dependent variable class Extracting features and output Train-Test dataset splitting (may also include validation dataset) Feature scaling Training the model Calculating the model score using the metric deemed fit based on the problem Saving the model for future use" Hope this helps!

[@sayantanmukherji4568]

Great explanation. This is what quality teaching is. Very much cleared with the concepts now. Just similar with the diabetes data do you guys have a heart attack/disease patients data. If yes then can I be provided with that?

[@edurekaIN]

Hey Sayantan, thanks for the wonderful feedback! We're glad we could be of help. Please share your email address and we will send it. Cheers!

[@sayantanmukherji4568]

[@jay-rathod-01]

Cool vid

[@aritrachatterjee8057]

You are not explaining the key concepts like Mean decrease Gini and why should I select the high value for mean decrease gini and interpret as most important variable????

[@edurekaIN]

Hey Aritra, sorry for the delay. Gini Impurity signifies how pure or impure your dataset is. Root node has the highest value of gini impurity, while the leaf nodes have the least value of the gini impurity. Why? Because at root node the dataset is completely mixed and unsegregated while at leaf node the data is pure and segregated. So if the value of gini impurity is high there it means there is still a chance to further divide the tree. Hope this clarifies your doubt. For further query stay tuned for our next video on Decision Tree Using Python, This video will cover all the basics and the concepts related to decision tree. Hope this helps!

[@diverse4985]

could any one explain about subset? so if we have 500 tree, the number of subset will be 500, right?

[@edurekaIN]

Hey Bison, Each tree gets the full set of features, but at each node, only a random subset of features is considered. Hope this helps!

[@irahcabangon5079]

Can I use Random Forest on data with only 2 variables?

[@edurekaIN]

Hey Irah, thanks for checking out our tutorial. If you have only two variables then random forest is not advisable. You should go for something like decision tree or regression. Polynomial regression will work best in the mentioned case. Hope this helps. Cheers!

[@noobshady]

how can we use tuneRF to optimize the model?

[@edurekaIN]

+qυαятєямαɨиє, thanks for checking out our tutorial! Below is a summary of how tuneRF works: a. Set mtry to the default value of sqrt(p) for classification, and p/3 for regression (where p = total number of variables) b. Compute the out-of-bag (OOB) error (say error_default) for a Random Forest with mtry set to the default value found above a. Look to the left: set mtry = default value/stepFactor. For instance, if stepFactor=1.5 and your default starting value is 8, mtry would be set to be 8/1.5=5.33, rounded up to the be an integer, which gives 6 b. Compute the OOB error, say error_left a. Look to the right: set mtry = default value*stepFactor. To continue with my example, mtry would be set to be 8*1.5=12 b. Compute the OOB error, say error_right i. If (error_default < error_right) OR (error_default < error_left), the best mtry is the default value ii. If the previous condition is not met, but the delta between errors_default and error_right/error_left is less than the improve parameter, the best mtry is the default value iii. Without any loss of generality, if the condition is not met, and if error_right < error_left, and if (error_default-error_right) > improve, set mtry to be mtry_right (12). From now on, always go to the right If 4.iii. is verified, iterate: set mtry to be mtry_right*stepFactor (in my example, 12*1.5=18), compute the OOB error and compare it with the error obtained at the previous step (in my example, for mtry=12). If the error new error is smaller, and if the gain in error reduction is enough (i.e, >improve), select the new mtry and continue to repeat these steps, otherwise stop and return the current mtry as the best mtry The smaller stepFactor you set (e.g., 1.1, 1.2), the more values of mtry you try (fine search), the bigger stepFactor you set (e.g., 2, 2.5), the less values you try (rough search). Also, with low values of improve, the search will continue longer. Hope this helps. Cheers!

thank you for your response and you great tutorial

hi can u pls send one health insurance claims dataset to find the fraud claims using random forest

[@VarunSharma-ym2ns]

randomForest library package is not available in my R

[@edurekaIN]

Hey Varun, The basic syntax for creating a random forest in R is −randomForest(formula, data). Hope this helps!
