Consistency of Random Forest Type Algorithms under a Probabilistic Impurity Decrease Condition
Ricardo Blum, Munir Hiabu, Enno Mammen +1
This paper derives a unifying theorem establishing consistency results for a broad class of tree-based algorithms. It improves current results in two aspects. First of all, it can…
