Random Forest Ensemble Size Tuning Explained by New Stationary Distribution Theory · 2 sources tracked

This paper introduces a theoretical framework for understanding the stationary distribution of ensemble sizes in Random Forests during plateau-based tuning. The research models the central ensemble size as a birth-death Markov chain, deriving its stationary distribution and characterizing the spread. The findings suggest that plateau-based tuning should be viewed as a stochastic process rather than a deterministic stopping rule, with implications for how ensemble size is optimized. AI
