RandomForest Model for Searching Similar Cases

Description

RandomForest Model for Searching Similar Cases

RandomForest Model for Searching Similar Cases

Details

This class uses the proximity or depth matrix of the RandomForest algorithm as a similarity matrix of training and query observations. By default all cases with at least one missing values are dropped from learning, calculating the distance matrix and searching for similar cases.

Super class
