摘要:

与许多预测模型一样,随机森林为新观测提供点预测。除了点预测之外,重要的是量化预测中的不确定性。预测区间提供有关点预测可靠性的信息。我们开发了一个全面的R包RFpredInterval,它集成了16种方法来构建随机森林和提升森林的预测区间。包中实现的方法集包括一种新方法,用于构建具有提升森林的预测区间(PIBF)和15种方法变体,用于生成具有随机森林的预测区间,如Roy和Larocque(2020)所提出的。我们进行了广泛的模拟研究,并应用实际数据分析,以比较所提出的方法的性能与现有的10种方法建立预测区间与随机森林。结果表明,该方法是非常有竞争力的,在全球范围内,优于竞争的方法。

英文摘要:

Like many predictive models, random forests provide point predictions for new observations. Besides the point prediction, it is important to quantify the uncertainty in the prediction. Prediction intervals provide information about the reliability of the point predictions. We have developed a comprehensive R package, RFpredInterval, that integrates 16 methods to build prediction intervals with random forests and boosted forests. The set of methods implemented in the package includes a new method to build prediction intervals with boosted forests (PIBF) and 15 method variations to produce prediction intervals with random forests, as proposed by Roy and Larocque (2020). We perform an extensive simulation study and apply real data analyses to compare the performance of the proposed method to ten existing methods for building prediction intervals with random forests. The results show that the proposed method is very competitive and, globally, outperforms competing methods.
