ggRandomForests 4.0.0 is on CRAN. It adds graphics for Random Hazard Forests (randomForestRHF), survival forests grown on covariates that change over follow-up: per-patient hazard curves, time-varying AUC, and which variables matter when. #rstats

I tested Random Forests with 10, 50, 100 and 150 trees today. More trees improved validation performance, but the gains eventually became very small.

I learned the idea behind ensemble learning: instead of depending on one model, we can combine multiple models. Random Forest is a great example, combining many Decision Trees.

I moved from a single Decision Tree to a Random Forest. Instead of relying on one tree, Random Forest combines predictions from multiple trees to build a stronger regression model.

I experimented with `n_estimators` in Random Forest. Increasing the number of trees improved validation RMSE at first, but the improvement became much smaller as more trees were added.

I explored `feature_importances_` in Random Forest. It helped me see which features contributed most to the model's tree splits instead of treating the model as a complete black box.

Where you live may shape #malaria risk.

Using #MachineLearning, this study found that ecological zones predicted malaria incidence better than climate alone, supporting more targeted, data-driven control strategies. #RandomForest

What drives #malaria risk beyond climate alone?

This study found ecological zones were stronger predictors than climate, with #RandomForest delivering the best accuracy for supporting targeted, data-driven malaria interventions. #AI

We used 10,000+ tree cores from 172 stem-mapped plots to reconstruct structure in 1860 along environmental gradients. With #RandomForest, we identified the 5 most important predictors for spatial and nonspatial structure to inform representative Classification and Regression Trees (CARTs, 2/n).
