FAQ

Q: What is Random Forest?
A: Random Forest is a machine learning algorithm used for classification and regression tasks.

Q: How does Random Forest work?
A: Random Forest works by combining multiple decision trees to make predictions. Each tree is trained on a random subset of the data and features.

Q: What are the advantages of using Random Forest?
A: Advantages of using Random Forest include its ability to handle large data sets, handle both numerical and categorical variables, and provide feature importance rankings.

Q: What is the difference between Random Forest and Decision Trees?
A: Unlike decision trees, Random Forest uses an ensemble approach by combining multiple trees for improved accuracy and reducing overfitting.

Q: What is the use of feature importance in Random Forest?
A: Feature importance in Random Forest helps identify which features have the most impact on the predictions, allowing for better understanding of the problem.
