Random Forest

Random Forest

The random forest algorithm is one of the most popular and most powerful supervised machine learning algorithm in the modern world. It is capable of doing both regression and classification tasks. It develops lots of decision trees based on random selection of data and random selection of variables. It provides the class of dependent variable based on many trees. As the trees are based on random selection of data as well as variables,these are random tree. Many such random trees leads to a random forest.






Advantages of random forest:
1. Can be used for both classification and the regression task.
2. Random forest classifier will handle the missing values and maintains accuracy for missing data.
3. It won't overfit the model.
4. Can handle large data set with higher dimensionality.
There are some disadvantages as well. Let's look at some of them:
1. It's not as good as for regression as it does not give precise continuous nature predictions.
2. We have very little control on what the model does.

The Applications of Random forest:
1. It is used in the banking sector. It can used for finding the loyal and fraud customers.
2. It can be used in medicine where it is used to identify the correct combination of components to validate medicine. It is also used for identifying disease by analysing the patient's medical records.
3. It is used in the stock market to identify the stock behavior as well as the expected loss or profit by purchasing a particular stock.
4. In e-commerce the random forest is used in a small segment of the recommendation engine for identifying the likelihood of a customer liking their recommended products.
5. In computer vision random forest is used for image classification.

UTM CAMPUS EXPERIENCE

After finishing Higher Secondary Examination in my country, I decided to do my bachelor's degree in a different country. Leaving my family,friends and the environment i grew up wasn't something i was ready to let go but I decided to do it anyway because of the endless opportunities I found in Malaysia. Since I decided to study abroad, I was looking forward to study in a top tier university in Malaysia. I came to know about UTM from one of my father's close associate who is currently living in Malaysia. Then I applied online and received a offer letter within a week. Finally, the day arrived when I had to leave my family behind to come to Malaysia. I arrived at UTM on 27th February,2020.

At first, I had to complete few procedures related to my registration in UTM international. After that, I went to book a room in KLG ( formerly known as Tun Gaffar Baba Residence) which is a private campus residence and is located right on the boundary of UTM. I am impressed with all the facilities provided by KLG. Then I went to Pusat Kesihatan UTM to complete my medical checkup. I was impressed with all the facilities they had in there for the treatment of the students. It was a hectic day for me since I didn't have enough time for taking rest upon my arrival in UTM. But the day ended well with a decent sleep. 









The next day I woke up a bit early. I was excited since I decided to roam around the campus and get to know about all the beautiful things in my campus. I was amazed by seeing the beauty of this campus. I consider myself lucky to have been a part of this campus and I hope to make good use of it someday. I must say the UTM lake itself is enough to refresh our minds. The beautiful nature of UTM reminds of the quote, "The poetry of earth is never dead."

I was mesmerized by the serene nature of UTM. 


There are many restaurants inside the campus. If you love travelling and visiting new places then you need to adapt yourself with the type of food you'll find there. And Alhamdulillah I was able to do that.

One of the attraction inside the campus is the mosque. The Mosque is located in the center of UTM which also makes it the center of attraction inside the campus.

I am delighted to be a part of this campus. This dorm and campus life made me well aware of all the duties and responsibilities I have as a student and as a human being. This new chapter of my life is different since I never had an experience of staying out of home for a long time. I have been living here for almost 2 months and I have enjoyed every single moment this campus has offered me. I hope it stays the same till the end.
