How to Implement Random Forest From Scratch in Python - Machine Learning Mastery

Decision trees can suffer from high variance which makes their results fragile to the specific training data used. Building multiple models from samples of your training data, called bagging, can reduce this variance, but the trees are highly correlated. Random Forest is an extension of bagging that in addition to building trees based on multiple samples of your training data, it also constrains the features that can be used to build the trees, forcing trees to be different. This, in turn, can give a lift in performance. In this tutorial, you will discover how to implement the Random Forest algorithm from scratch in Python.
