Intention of this post is to give a quick refresher (thus, it’s assumed that you are already familiar with the stuff) of concept of “Decision Tree Classification & Random Forest Classification” (using Python). You can treat this as FAQ’s as well.

Sample code for implementing Decision Tree Classification?

from sklearn.tree import DecisionTreeClassifier
classifier = DecisionTreeClassifier(criterion = ‘entropy’, random_state = 0)
classifier.fit(X_train, y_train)

***************************************

Sample code for implementing Random Forest Classification?

from sklearn.ensemble import RandomForestClassifier
classifier = RandomForestClassifier(n_estimators = 10, criterion = ‘entropy’, random_state = 0)
classifier.fit(X_train, y_train)

***************************************

How is decision tree & random forest classification implementation for classification problems differ to the implementation for regression problems?

Pragmatically, no much difference actual. Both ways of applying the algorithm is almost same!
