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.
