Data-Analysis: Building a random forest regression model

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

This example uses the "mtcars" dataset to create a random forest model to predict the value of carb (the number of carburetors).

Before you begin the example, load the Machine Learning sample data.

Use RF_REGRESSOR to create the random forest model myRFRegressorModel using the mtcars training data. View the summary output of the model with GET_MODEL_SUMMARY:

=> SELECT RF_REGRESSOR ('myRFRegressorModel', 'mtcars', 'carb', 'mpg, cyl, hp, drat, wt' USING PARAMETERS
ntree=100, sampling_size=0.3);

Use PREDICT_RF_REGRESSOR to predict the number of carburetors:

=> SELECT PREDICT_RF_REGRESSOR (mpg,cyl,hp,drat,wt
USING PARAMETERS model_name='myRFRegressorModel') FROM mtcars;
