Random forest

A machine learning (ML) approach called random forest is employed for classification and regression problems. As an ensemble approach, it integrates the results of various models to provide a single prediction.

A random forest is made up of many decision trees that have all been trained using a randomly chosen portion of the data. The final forecast is created by averaging all of the decision trees' predictions, each of which makes a prediction based on the characteristics of the data.

One of the key advantages of random forest is that it is able to handle a large number of features, and is resistant to overfitting. It is also able to handle missing values and outliers, and is able to provide a measure of the importance of each feature.

Random forest is a powerful and widely used ML algorithm, and is used in a variety of applications including image classification, recommendation systems, and fraud detection. It is an effective tool for both classification and regression tasks, and is able to handle a large number of features and is resistant to overfitting.
