Core Concepts
Grafting consistent estimators onto Random Forests ensures consistency and improved performance.
Abstract
The article explores the consistency of Random Forests and introduces the concept of grafting consistent estimators onto a shallow CART. It discusses the shortcomings of traditional Random Forests and the benefits of the proposed approach. The paper includes theoretical results, empirical applications, experiments, and conclusions.
