arXiv:2409. 12788v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Recently there has been a surge of interest in optimal decision tree (ODT) methods that globally optimize accuracy directly, in contrast to traditional approaches that locally optimize an impurity or information metric.

How Many Trees in a Random Forest? A Revisited Approach with Plateau Search and Optuna Integration

arXiv:2606. 03549v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Hyperparameter optimization (HPO) for Random Forest faces a specific difficulty in tuning the number of trees: the predictive score typically improves monotonically with ensemble size, so standard methods such as Tree-structured Parzen Estimator (TPE) and Hyperband require a predefined search range and often drive the estimate toward its right boundary.

How Many Trees in a Random Forest? A Revisited Approach with Plateau Search and Optuna Integration

Hyperparameter optimization (HPO) for Random Forest faces a specific difficulty in tuning the number of trees: the predictive score typically improves monotonically with ensemble size, so standard methods such as Tree-structured Parzen Estimator (TPE) and Hyperband require a predefined search range and often drive the estimate toward its right boundary. Early-stopping strategies avoid fixing such a range, but can be sensitive to score noise and prone to premature stopping.
