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.
