Randomized Forest :Thought vectors to build a new class of Ensemble algorithms

It’s a known fact that bagging (an ensemble technique) works well on unstable algorithms like decision trees, artificial neural networks and not on stable algorithms like Naive Bayes. The well known ensemble algorithm Random forest thrives on the ability of bagging technique which leverages the ‘instability’ of decisions trees, to…
