There is a unfortunate/wrong sentence in the summary:
"In the literature other learning algorithms also showed similar results, like the random forest calculated by the out-of bag observations or neural networks."
Of course, the random forest is not another learning algorithm. Here the Feature Importance is calculated using the OOB observations.
