AUC-RF: A New Strategy for Genomic Profiling with Random Forest [PDF]
Objective: Genomic profiling, the use of genetic variants at multiple loci simultaneously for the prediction of disease risk, requires the selection of a set of genetic variants that best predicts disease status.

Danger: High Power! – Exploring the Statistical Properties of a Test for Random Forest Variable Importance [PDF]
Random forests have become a widely-used predictive model in many scientific disciplines within the past few years. Additionally, they are increasingly popular for assessing variable importance, e.g., in genetics and bioinformatics.

Application of Sentinel-2 Satellite Data to Map Forest Cover in Southeast Sri Lanka through the Random Forest Classifier [PDF]
Sentinel-2 satellite data has been used for forest cover monitoring for almost five years. Mapping with Sentinel data will be a cost-effective solution for Sri Lanka, where the lack of updated land cover maps with high spatial resolution is a significant

Conditional Variable Importance for Random Forests [PDF]
Random forests are becoming increasingly popular in many scientific fields because they can cope with ``small n large p'' problems, complex interactions and even highly correlated predictor variables. Their variable importance measures have recently been

Forest-Fire-Risk Prediction Based on Random Forest and Backpropagation Neural Network of Heihe Area in Heilongjiang Province, China [PDF]
Forest fires are important factors that influence and restrict the development of forest ecosystems. In this paper, forest-fire-risk prediction was studied based on random forest (RF) and backpropagation neural network (BPNN) algorithms.

In this paper, we introduce a new Random Forest (RF) induction algorithm called Dynamic Random Forest (DRF) which is based on an adaptative tree induction procedure. The main idea is to guide the tree induction so that each tree will complement as much as possible the existing trees in the ensemble.

The creation and analysis of next-day random forest-based high-impact weather forecasts [PDF]
Flash floods, tornadoes, damaging winds, and large hail are costly and difficult to predict, even for state-of-the-art, high-resolution numerical weather prediction (NWP) systems. Current operational NWP ensembles have a variety of shortcomings: they are

In the article by Chen et al,1 the authors used Random Survival Forests (RSF) as part of their approach for analyzing the data. In this note, we will explain RSF in a nontechnical way; precise details of the RSF method are described in the article by Ishwaran et al.2 RSF are an adaptation of Random Forests (RF)3 designed to be used for survival data ...
