A measure of how often a randomly chosen element from the set would be incorrectly labeled if it was randomly labeled according to the distribution of labels in the subset.
Because it combines the predictions of multiple individual models (trees) to improve accuracy and robustness.
A technique that reduces the size of decision trees by removing sections of the tree that provide little power, preventing overfitting.
