Honest decision trees and random forests show convergence in regression

Researchers have established new theoretical findings regarding the consistency of honest decision trees and random forests in regression tasks. The study presents elementary proofs that demonstrate both weak and almost sure convergence of these methods to the true regression function under standard conditions. This framework also extends to ensemble variants utilizing subsampling and a two-stage bootstrap sampling scheme, simplifying and synthesizing existing analyses. AI

    Consistency of Honest Decision Trees and Random Forests

    arXiv:2601.14991v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We study various types of consistency of honest decision trees and random forests in the regression setting. In contrast to related literature, our proofs are elementary and follow the classical arguments used for smoothin…
