Table 1. Random Forest results by taxonomic group and environment type.
The columns show the accuracy and out-of-bag (OOB) error for predicting each environment type. Out-of-bag error is an estimation of the prediction error of Random Forest computed by testing each tree against data not used in building that tree.
