Random Forest

An ensemble learning method that combines the outputs of multiple decision trees to make more robust predictions.

Random Forest leverages the diversity of decision trees to produce more stable and generalizable results than a single tree. Through a bagging strategy, many trees are trained on different samples and random subsets of features. This can reduce overfitting and yield a strong general-purpose model. It also provides approximate feature importance, which offers an additional interpretability benefit.
