Machine Learning Algorithms: Introduction to Random Forests - DATAVERSITY

Click to learn more about author Alejandro Correa Bahnsen. There are a variety of Machine Learning algorithms, and each has its own strengths and weaknesses. In this second article in a series on Machine Learning algorithms, I introduce Random Forests, a supervised algorithm used for classification and regression. If you missed my Introduction to Machine Learning and Decision Trees, I encourage you to read that article first, as it provides a foundation that I'm building on. Before we dig into Random Forests, you must first understand the concept of an ensemble-learning model.
