Machine Learning - StatQuest: Random Forests in R

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: https://github.com/StatQuest/random_forest_demo/blob/master/random_forest_demo.R If you're new to Random Forests, here's a video that covers the basics... https://youtu.be/J4Wdy0Wc_xQ ... and here's a video that covers missing data and sample clustering... https://youtu.be/nyxTdL_4Q-Q For a complete index of all the StatQuest videos, check out: https://statquest.org/video-index/ If you'd like to support StatQuest, please consider...
