  19. lazy val featureImportances: Vector

    Estimate of the importance of each feature.

    Each feature's importance is the average of its importance across all trees in the ensemble The importance vector is normalized to sum to 1. This method is suggested by Hastie et al. (Hastie, Tibshirani, Friedman. "The Elements of Statistical Learning, 2nd Edition." 2001.) and follows the implementation from scikit-learn.

  20. final val featureSubsetStrategy: Param[String]

    The number of features to consider for splits at each tree node.

    The number of features to consider for splits at each tree node. Supported options:

    • "auto": Choose automatically for task: If numTrees == 1, set to "all." If numTrees > 1 (forest), set to "sqrt" for classification and to "onethird" for regression.
    • "all": use all features
    • "onethird": use 1/3 of the features
    • "sqrt": use sqrt(number of features)
    • "log2": use log2(number of features)
    • "n": when n is in the range (0, 1.0], use n * number of features. When n is in the range (1, number of features), use n features. (default = "auto")

    These various settings are based on the following references:

    • log2: tested in Breiman (2001)
    • sqrt: recommended by Breiman manual for random forests
    • The defaults of sqrt (classification) and onethird (regression) match the R randomForest package.
