Random Forests are an easy to understand and easy to use machine learning technique that is surprisingly powerful. Here I show you, step by step, how to use them in R.
NOTE: There is an error at 13:26. I meant to call "as.dist()" instead of "dist()".
The code that I used in this video can be found on the StatQuest GitHub:
