Add balance option to make-random-forest #9

Closed gdobbins closed 8 years ago

gdobbins commented 8 years ago

The balance option allows for equal sampling among the outcome of the objective variable. This is really only useful when one outcome is over-represented in the data. When enabled this option should improve the true-positive and false-positive rates at the expense of losing some information from the undersampled outcome and increasing bias in the oversampled outcome.

Thanks, appreciate your work on random forest. The section links in the REAME.md file were you able to generate them durring the export of README.org to README.md, or did you make those manually? That was one om annoyances with exporting from org-mode to md

I'm happy to contribute. The section links were generated. I'm using Gnu Emacs version 24.5.1 with the builtin org mode, if you are using an older version then it might just be a new feature.
