Table 3. Multivariate analysis using ensemble tree models - Random forests approach results.

The random forest procedure was performed using 1000 trees on the same 49 variables obtained after univariate and multicollinearity analysis. The top important variables strongly associated with the outcome are listed based on positive variable importance (VIMP).
