• Each tree in the random forest independently predicts the outcome, and the final prediction is made by averaging the predictions of all the trees.

• Random forest is effective in handling high-dimensional data and can...read more

• Overfitting happens when a model is too complex and captures noise in the training data.

• It leads to poor generalization to new, unseen data.

• Regularization techniques like L1/L2 regularization can help prevent overfitting.

• Cross-validation can be used to detect and prevent overfitting.

• Example: A decision tree with too...read more
