What is a Random Forest and how does it reduce variance compared to a single decision tree?

Key points

  • Random Forest combines multiple decision trees for more accurate predictions.
  • By training on random subsets, it reduces overfitting and variance.
  • Averaging predictions from different trees enhances the model's performance.
