Table 1.
Out-of-Bag Error Rates* for Prediction of Receipt of Early Childhood Therapy
Out-of-Bag Error | |||
---|---|---|---|
Number of trees | 250 | 750 | 1,000 |
Random forest | % | % | % |
Number of randomly chosen variables per split | |||
2 | 15.4 | 15.4 | 15.4 |
4 | 15.4 | 15.4 | 15.7 |
7 | 15.9 | 16.1 | 16.1 |
Bagging | 17.0 | 16.6 | 15.7 |
The out-of-bag data are put down each bootstrap classification tree, and the results are aggregated to determine the out-of-bag error rate over the forest of trees.
