StatQuest: Random Forests Part 1 - Building, Using and Evaluating

Random Forests make a simple, yet effective, machine learning method. They are made out of decision trees, but don't have the same problems with accuracy. In this video, I walk you through the steps to build, use and evaluate a random forest.
NOTE: Random Forests are made from Decision Trees, so if you don't know about those, here's the Quest: • Decision and Classific...
ALSO NOTE: This StatQuest is based on Leo Breiman's (one of the creators of Random Forests) website: www.stat.berkeley.edu/~breima...

0:00 Awesome song and introduction
0:31 Motivation for using Random Forests
1:17 Step 1, create a bootstrapped dataset
2:23 Step 2, create a decision tree a random subset of variables at each step
4:00 Step 3, repeat steps 1 and 2 a bunch of times
4:40 Classifying a new sample with a Random Forest
5:41 Definition of Bagging
6:03 Evaluating a Random Forest
8:34 Optimizing the Random Forest
Corrections:
3:18 I should have said the same feature (or variable) can be selected multiple times in a tree. Every time we select a subset of features to choose from, we choose from the full list of features, even if we have already used some of those features. Thus, a single feature can appear multiple times in a tree.
9:28 I say "square" when I meant to say "square root".

    StatQuest with Josh Starmer - Can you explain more on this? I mean how does it work when same variable is selected more than once... Let’s say for example., we have our root node as Good blood circulation - if it is true then it goes to left node and if is false it goes to right node Then let’s say our internal node on right side is chest pain and then next internal node below it is weight Then as you said we have again selected good blood circulation randomly ... how does it work because right side nodes have bad blood circulation already Selecting variables multiple times makes sense when it is continuous variable because it can used again with different threshold values but how come it works with categorical variable

    No, you only make one tree per boostrapped dataset. What I was trying to say was that all columns/variables/features in that bootstrapped dataset are considered at each node.

    4 жыл бұрын

    It’s true. There’s no use in visiting a boolean variable more than once. However, as a general rule, all variables, at least in theory, can be visited more than once in a single tree. The actual implementation may optimize this by omitting boolean variables if they have already been visited.

    In evaluating the random forest, you mention: use trees to classify samples that are not used to build the trees. As a result, the number of trees to test an out-of-bag sample is different from one sample to another, aren't? E.g. a sample can be tested by 4 trees (there are 4 trees that do not use the sample to build), while another sample can be tested by 10 trees.

    Was wondering the same thing. If we have 5 features we can't bootstrap with 25. It makes more sense if we have 25 variables, to start with 5 for bootstrapping.
