Lab | Random Forests

For this lab, you will be using the CSV files provided in the files_for_lab folder. These are cleaned versions of the learningSet data from the Case Study 'Healthcare for All'.

Instructions

• Apply the Random Forests algorithm but this time only by upscaling the data.
• Use Feature Selections that you have learned in class to decide if you want to use all of the features (PCA, etc)
• Discuss the output and its impact in the bussiness scenario. Is the cost of a false positive equals to the cost of the false negative? How would you change your algorithm or data in order to maximize the return of the bussiness?
