Fast Forest Quantile Regression
Quantile regression is useful if you want to understand more about the distribution of the predicted value, rather than get a single mean prediction value. This method has many applications, including:
- Predicting prices
- Estimating student performance or applying growth charts to assess child development
- Discovering predictive relationships in cases where there is only a weak relationship between variables
This regression algorithm is a supervised learning method, which means it requires a tagged dataset that includes a label column. Because it is a regression algorithm, the label column must contain only numerical values..
