DocumentationClassesRandomForestRegressor

Class: RandomForestRegressor

A random forest regressor.

A random forest is a meta estimator that fits a number of decision tree regressors 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.criterion?"squared_error" | "absolute_error" | "friedman_mse" | "poisson"The function to measure the quality of a split. Supported criteria are “squared_error” for the mean squared error, which is equal to variance reduction as feature selection criterion and minimizes the L2 loss using the mean of each terminal node, “friedman_mse”, which uses mean squared error with Friedman’s improvement score for potential splits, “absolute_error” for the mean absolute error, which minimizes the L1 loss using the median of each terminal node, and “poisson” which uses reduction in Poisson deviance to find splits. Training using “absolute_error” is significantly slower than when using “squared_error”.
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: monotonically increasing
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, r2_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.

opts.routing?anyA MetadataRequest encapsulating routing information.

ParameterType
pyPythonBridge

Returns Promise<void>

Defined in generated/ensemble/RandomForestRegressor.ts:161

predict(opts): Promise<ArrayLike>

Predict regression target for X.

score()

score(opts): Promise<number>

Return the coefficient of determination of the prediction.

The coefficient of determination \(R^2\) is defined as \((1 - \frac{u}{v})\), where \(u\) is the residual sum of squares ((y_true \- y_pred)\*\* 2).sum() and \(v\) is the total sum of squares ((y_true \- y_true.mean()) \*\* 2).sum(). The best possible score is 1.0 and it can be negative (because the model can be arbitrarily worse). A constant model that always predicts the expected value of y, disregarding the input features, would get a \(R^2\) score of 0.0.

Parameters

ParameterTypeDescription
optsobject-
opts.sample_weight?ArrayLikeSample weights.
opts.X?ArrayLike[]Test samples. For some estimators this may be a precomputed kernel matrix or a list of generic objects instead with shape (n_samples, n_samples_fitted), where n_samples_fitted is the number of samples used in the fitting for the estimator.
