Classification and regression with ensembles of decision trees.

Using random forests for pixel classification

Beyond traditional classification problems, random forests have proven their effectiveness in pixel classification. In this post, we will delve into this domain and explore how random forests can be effectively utilized to tackle the task of pixel classification.

Decision Trees vs. Random Forests for classification and regression: A comparison

Decision trees and random forests are popular machine learning algorithms that are widely used for both classification and regression tasks. In this blog post, we elucidate their theoretical foundations and discuss the differences as well as their advantages and drawbacks.

In my opinion, #R is very suitable for #MachineLearning. With R, machine learning can be easily integrated into usual #rstats data analysis workflows. #RPackages provide access to virtually all relevant machine learning algorithms like #NeuralNetworks, Support Vector machines (#SVM), #RandomForests, Extreme Gradient Boosting (#XGBoost), #WEKA algorithms, etc.

Does anyone of the @rstats group have further recommendations?

See reply for sources: 4 books on machine learning.

trying to capture #RandomForests questions in metaphor:
- will the Amazon algorithm (corporation) learn to appreciate the Amazon river?
- and what if this actually determines the fate of the Amazon basin?
- will Amazon just sew the river if we give it rights as a legal person?
