Random Forest Ensemble Method Quiz

1. What is the computational advantage of Random Forest over gradient boosting?

Trees are trained in parallel rather than sequentially

It requires fewer hyperparameters to tune

It automatically handles categorical variables

It eliminates the need for feature scaling

Submit

3. What is the relationship between number of trees and Random Forest performance?

More trees always improve accuracy indefinitely

Performance plateaus; excessive trees waste computation

Performance decreases with more trees

Tree count has no effect on predictions

Submit

5. Which statement about Random Forest variable importance is true?

It measures correlation between features and target

It quantifies average decrease in impurity per feature

It ranks features by their appearance in trees

It calculates p-values for statistical significance

Submit

8. What does 'max_features' control in a Random Forest?

Total features available in the dataset

Number of features considered at each split

Features with highest importance scores

Number of features used for bootstrap sampling

9. Random Forests are particularly effective for which type of machine learning task?

Only classification problems

Only regression problems

Both classification and regression

Time series forecasting exclusively

Submit

11. What is the primary principle behind Random Forest ensemble learning?

Combining multiple weak learners to reduce overfitting

Using a single deep decision tree for maximum accuracy

Applying linear regression to all features simultaneously

Training models sequentially with equal weights

Submit

13. Which of the following is an advantage of Random Forest for handling non-linear relationships?

It automatically standardizes all features

Decision trees capture non-linear patterns through recursive partitioning

It applies polynomial transformations to data

It requires fewer features than linear models

Submit

15. What does 'max_depth' control in a Random Forest?

Maximum number of features per tree

Maximum number of levels in each decision tree

Maximum number of samples per node

Maximum number of bootstrap samples

16. In Random Forest classification, how is the final prediction determined?

Weighted average of all tree predictions

Majority vote from all trees

Prediction from the deepest tree

Median of all tree outputs

Submit

18. What is feature importance in Random Forest based on?

The order features appear in the dataset

How much each feature decreases impurity across all trees

Correlation coefficients between features

Manual ranking by domain experts

19. Which hyperparameter controls the number of trees in a Random Forest?

Max_depth

N_estimators

Min_samples_split

Random_state

20. In Random Forest, what does 'bootstrap sampling' accomplish?

Creates random subsets of data with replacement for training individual trees

Removes outliers from the dataset before training

Normalizes features to a standard scale

Selects only the most important features
