The grant funds theoretical and applied research to advance understanding of random forest machine learning techniques. The university will study when and why random forests perform well or fail, with the goal of providing practitioners more confidence and guidance in application. Researchers will also work to improve the interpretability and performance of random forests for analysis of large, complex data. The project aims to answer important open questions about model sparsity and feature importance measures, while developing valid statistical methods for inference. Outcomes will offer training to develop the next generation of data scientists and statisticians.
