DocumentationClassesRandomForestClassifier

Class: RandomForestClassifier

A random forest classifier.

A random forest is a meta estimator that fits a number of decision tree classifiers on various sub-samples of the dataset and uses averaging to improve the predictive accuracy and control over-fitting. Trees in the forest use the best split strategy, i.e. equivalent to passing splitter="best" to the underlying DecisionTreeRegressor. The sub-sample size is controlled with the max_samples parameter if bootstrap=True (default), otherwise the whole dataset is used to build each tree.

For a comparison between tree-based ensemble models see the example Comparing Random Forests and Histogram Gradient Boosting models.

Parameters

ParameterTypeDescription
opts?object-
opts.bootstrap?booleanWhether bootstrap samples are used when building trees. If false, the whole dataset is used to build each tree.
opts.ccp_alpha?anyComplexity parameter used for Minimal Cost-Complexity Pruning. The subtree with the largest cost complexity that is smaller than ccp_alpha will be chosen. By default, no pruning is performed. See Minimal Cost-Complexity Pruning for details.
opts.class_weight?anyWeights associated with classes in the form {class_label: weight}. If not given, all classes are supposed to have weight one. For multi-output problems, a list of dicts can be provided in the same order as the columns of y. Note that for multioutput (including multilabel) weights should be defined for each class of every column in its own dict. For example, for four-class multilabel classification weights should be [{0: 1, 1: 1}, {0: 1, 1: 5}, {0: 1, 1: 1}, {0: 1, 1: 1}] instead of [{1:1}, {2:5}, {3:1}, {4:1}]. The “balanced” mode uses the values of y to automatically adjust weights inversely proportional to class frequencies in the input data as n_samples / (n_classes \* np.bincount(y)) The “balanced_subsample” mode is the same as “balanced” except that weights are computed based on the bootstrap sample for every tree grown. For multi-output, the weights of each column of y will be multiplied. Note that these weights will be multiplied with sample_weight (passed through the fit method) if sample_weight is specified.
opts.criterion?"gini" | "entropy" | "log_loss"The function to measure the quality of a split. Supported criteria are “gini” for the Gini impurity and “log_loss” and “entropy” both for the Shannon information gain, see Mathematical formulation. Note: This parameter is tree-specific.
opts.max_depth?numberThe maximum depth of the tree. If undefined, then nodes are expanded until all leaves are pure or until all leaves contain less than min_samples_split samples.
opts.max_features?number | "sqrt" | "log2"The number of features to consider when looking for the best split:
opts.max_leaf_nodes?numberGrow trees with max_leaf_nodes in best-first fashion. Best nodes are defined as relative reduction in impurity. If undefined then unlimited number of leaf nodes.
opts.max_samples?numberIf bootstrap is true, the number of samples to draw from X to train each base estimator.
opts.min_impurity_decrease?numberA node will be split if this split induces a decrease of the impurity greater than or equal to this value. The weighted impurity decrease equation is the following:
opts.min_samples_leaf?numberThe minimum number of samples required to be at a leaf node. A split point at any depth will only be considered if it leaves at least min_samples_leaf training samples in each of the left and right branches. This may have the effect of smoothing the model, especially in regression.
opts.min_samples_split?numberThe minimum number of samples required to split an internal node:
opts.min_weight_fraction_leaf?numberThe minimum weighted fraction of the sum total of weights (of all the input samples) required to be at a leaf node. Samples have equal weight when sample_weight is not provided.
opts.monotonic_cst?any[]1: monotonic increase
opts.n_estimators?numberThe number of trees in the forest.
opts.n_jobs?numberThe number of jobs to run in parallel. fit, predict, decision_path and apply are all parallelized over the trees. undefined means 1 unless in a joblib.parallel_backend context. \-1 means using all processors. See Glossary for more details.
opts.oob_score?booleanWhether to use out-of-bag samples to estimate the generalization score. By default, accuracy_score is used. Provide a callable with signature metric(y_true, y_pred) to use a custom metric. Only available if bootstrap=True.
opts.random_state?numberControls both the randomness of the bootstrapping of the samples used when building trees (if bootstrap=True) and the sampling of the features to consider when looking for the best split at each node (if max_features < n_features). See Glossary for details.
opts.verbose?numberControls the verbosity when fitting and predicting.
opts.warm_start?booleanWhen set to true, reuse the solution of the previous call to fit and add more estimators to the ensemble, otherwise, just fit a whole new forest. See Glossary and Fitting additional trees for details.
